What is manufacturing software?
Manufacturing software, often part of a comprehensive MRP (Material Requirements Planning) system, helps manufacturers plan, manage and optimize production activities. It provides the tools to streamline shop floor operations, track work orders and ensure that resources, materials and labor are used efficiently. The goal is to improve visibility, reduce waste and deliver products on time with consistent quality.
QT9 MRP's Manufacturing module gives teams a centralized hub to manage everything from work orders and Bills of Materials (BOMs) to routing and labor tracking. With real-time production data, automated scheduling and seamless integration across inventory, purchasing and sales modules, QT9 MRP helps manufacturers increase productivity and meet demand confidently. Whether you're managing make-to-order or make-to-stock operations, QT9 makes it easyr to plan, execute and scale production.

FAQ: MRP Manufacturing Software
The manufacturing module in MRP software helps streamline production by automating work order creation, tracking job progress, managing resources and ensuring material availability. QT9 MRP connects manufacturing operations with inventory, scheduling and purchasing in real time for end-to-end production visibility.
QT9 MRP improves manufacturing efficiency by automatically scheduling jobs, optimizing material usage, tracking work-in-progress (WIP) and reducing downtime. With built-in automation and real-time updates, manufacturers can increase throughput and meet delivery deadlines more reliably.
Yes. QT9 MRP supports make-to-order (MTO), make-to-stock (MTS) and engineer-to-order (ETO) workflows. The system dynamically creates work orders based on sales orders or production forecasts, making it ideal for custom manufacturers.
Yes. QT9 MRP allows you to track labor hours, machine usage, and actual production time for each job. This data helps manufacturers analyze productivity, calculate accurate job costs, and improve future planning.
QT9 MRP automatically generates work orders based on demand and schedules them according to material availability, resource capacity, and priority. Users can adjust schedules in real time to respond to changes in production or supply chain conditions.
QT9 MRP links manufacturing with inventory and purchasing modules to ensure that all materials are available before production starts. The system automatically checks stock levels and initiates purchase requests when needed.
Yes. QT9 MRP is flexible and scalable for discrete, batch, or hybrid manufacturing environments. The software supports process tracking, lot control, batch numbers, and job-specific documentation for full production traceability.
