Key NetSuite Manufacturing Capabilities
- Order Management
Deliver accurate, on-time fulfillment with real-time inventory visibility. NetSuite streamlines the entire order-to-cash cycle by automating order processing, allocation, and fulfillment. With Intelligent Order Management, manufacturers can fulfill customer demand efficiently based on global inventory availability and predefined business rules. By eliminating manual processes and duplicate data entry, companies can scale operations while maintaining consistent customer experiences.
- Planning and Scheduling
Balance supply and demand with greater confidence and control. NetSuite provides a real-time production scheduling engine that supports both finite and infinite capacity planning. Production schedules can be viewed through intuitive calendar or Gantt chart interfaces, enabling teams to easily adjust priorities and respond to changes. This visibility helps identify potential bottlenecks early and keeps production running smoothly.
- Supply Chain Management
Manage outsourced manufacturing as seamlessly as in-house production. NetSuite delivers end-to-end visibility across the supply chain, regardless of where production takes place. Manufacturers can track inventory in real time, manage vendor locations, and perform distribution requirements planning (DRP) across multiple sites. This unified view enables better coordination, reduced risk, and improved supply chain performance.
- Procurement
Gain greater control over purchasing and supplier relationships. Built with product-based businesses in mind, NetSuite supports advanced procurement processes such as request for quotation (RFQ), blanket purchase orders, and purchase contracts. The procure-to-pay process is streamlined through automated approvals, spend visibility, and real-time reporting. Manufacturers can ensure materials are available when needed—at the right cost and from the right suppliers.
- Shop Floor Control
Capture real-time production data directly from the shop floor. NetSuite enables manufacturers to record critical production information as it happens, improving execution accuracy and schedule reliability. Through a browser-based tablet application, operators can view work queues, update job statuses, and record labor and machine activities in real time. Designed for factory environments, the interface is intuitive and practical—even when used with gloves.
- Quality Management
Embed quality into every stage of the manufacturing process. NetSuite helps manufacturers maintain high quality standards with configurable inspection plans, pass/fail criteria, and real-time tracking of inspection results. Nonconformance reporting and analysis enable continuous improvement while minimizing operational overhead. The result is higher product quality, reduced costs, and stronger customer trust.
