Manufacturing
IFS ERP gives manufacturers end-to-end control through flexible, powerful modules purpose-built for different production models. From work orders and operation tracking to material consumption and costing, every stage of production is monitored in real time on a single platform.
Whether you run part-based discrete manufacturing, recipe-driven process production or engineering-intensive project manufacturing, IFS ERP adapts to your production strategy and works in native integration with the planning, procurement, quality and maintenance modules.
Discrete Manufacturing
For discrete manufacturers, IFS ERP provides a robust foundation with part-based production tracking, variant management and serial/lot traceability. Through the shop order structure, the status of every operation, the labor spent and the material consumed are monitored in real time on the work order.
Process Manufacturing
IFS ERP's process-manufacturing capabilities — recipe management, process parameter control and production volume tracking — are a natural fit for industries such as chemicals, food and pharmaceuticals. Batch records are stored together with the process values measured during production and can be presented as retrospective evidence in audits.
Project-Based Manufacturing
For companies delivering customer-specific engineering and production, IFS ERP works in full integration with its project management module. Every activity from design to delivery is managed against the project plan, and costs are tracked per project.
Make to Order (MTO)
In make-to-order scenarios, IFS ERP manages the order-specific production process from quotation to shipment. Through DOP (Dynamic Order Processing), the sales order automatically triggers the required production, purchasing and assembly orders.
Key IFS Capabilities
These are the IFS Cloud capabilities we implement most often in manufacturing projects:
Processes It Works With
Manufacturing never runs alone in IFS. Proposals generated by planning become work orders; the warehouse manages work-order-driven material supply and return flows; quality triggers inspections at operation checkpoints; and maintenance coordinates equipment downtime with the production plan. Because all of these flows happen on the same data model, there is no reconciliation between modules — only real-time visibility.
Whatever your production model, with WiseApp your IFS manufacturing module reflects the reality of the shop floor — traceable, measurable and under control.
