Manufacturing

Dynamics NAV for manufacturing allows you to instantly change manufacturing methods and processes, helping you to keep up with changing customer needs. Modify components and operations on-the-fly, even on released production orders. Implement realistic plans according to your capacity demands, and redefine order modifiers, re-order policies, capacity, calendars, and manufacturing policy options.

Being able to respond quickly to customers gives you a competitive advantage. Dynamics NAV for manufacturing provides visibility into all aspects of your manufacturing processes and makes it easy to respond to emergencies immediately because they are easy to spot, track and act upon. When customers know that you can answer any question about an order at any given time, they will continue to do business with you.
