Make to Order Planning gives planners a visual, chart-based view of labor, machine, and material capacity tied to specific shop orders, so they can spot and resolve shortages or overload before production starts. It covers building and maintaining DOP order structures, calculating costs, netting demand, running capacity checks, releasing structures, and resolving planning alarms.

Covers the final steps of clearing an aircraft after hangar maintenance, from analyzing test flight results and confirming requirement completion to authorizing the release.

Make to Stock Planning covers forecast-driven stocking of spare parts and running project-level material requirements planning.

Covers keeping operational data accurate and manageable over time, including archiving historical logs, correcting erroneous entries, and updating vehicle condition history.

Master Planning covers running master scheduling at different levels, rough-cut resource planning, and sales and operations planning to balance demand against overall capacity.

Supports field technicians running maintenance work orders from a mobile device, covering work acceptance and execution, material and stock handling, document and object access, remote assistance, and shift, e-form, and synchronization management.

Material Planning Simulation lets planners model demand and supply scenarios using MRP, master scheduling, and capacity requirements planning logic without touching live data, so they can run what-if analysis before committing changes. It covers maintaining simulation profiles, managing simulation results, and running CRP, MRP, and master schedule level-1 simulations.

Lets field technicians execute service request work from a mobile device, including reviewing and updating sales lines connected to a task so sales reports capture the work actually performed.

Lets field technicians execute service work orders from a mobile device, including quoting additional work and tracking travel to the customer site.

Covers day-to-day operation of an asset, including logging operational entries, managing flight logs, and planning daily operations.

Covers running repetitive manufacturing against a production schedule, from maintaining the schedule and reporting progress points to recording completions and quality results.
