NetSuite WIP and Routings
Optimize Production Planning and Work Order Execution
Manual work in process tracking leads to congested shop floors, excess work orders, and incomplete visibility into production schedules. NetSuite WIP and Routings brings it all together for efficiency.
NetSuite WIP provides real-time visibility into work order status using barcode scans and industrial IoT to keep the entire plant in sync. Production planners get needed data while shop floor teams stay on track to accelerate plant throughput.
Why Choose NetSuite WIP and Routings?
Spreadsheets and whiteboards for production tracking quickly fall out of sync with shop floor realities. NetSuite WIP and Routings connects your front office to realities on the plant floor.

FAQs
What are the key benefits of WIP tracking?
WIP tracking provides real-time visibility into job and work order status, prevents delays and congestion, connects data from machines and barcode scans, and automates backflushing materials based on completed orders.
How can optimized routings help my operations?
Optimized routings use scheduling algorithms and simulations to sequence jobs in the most efficient order based on constraints. This minimizes changeovers, improves throughput, and ensures on-time order completion.
Can WIP software help my quality processes?
Yes, WIP modules can build in quality testing and inspection points into the standard routing. Checkpoints can be digitized using barcodes and IoT sensors to verify quality criteria have been met before advancing an order.
What inventory visibility does WIP provide?
WIP tracking reflects both raw material withdrawals from inventory as well as finished goods completions posted back to inventory in real-time. This ties inventory management to shop floor execution.
