To operate your business as lean as possible, you need to have the right materials available to fill the current demand without excess inventory. JobOps helps you manage the purchasing process to avoid materials shortages that impact delivery schedules. Purchase to order or job means that materials purchasing only takes place when a job requires the material. When your customer places an order with you, material requirements for that job are determined, and then the materials should be ordered from the vendor to be delivered as close as possible to when the job needs it.

JobOps tracks the start date for each step, operation, or phase of a job. Then it reviews the bill of material (BOM) required for each of those steps. The due date for the material needed for a step then becomes the date that the step is scheduled to begin. Next, JobOps creates a list of all the materials that need to be purchased, by looking at all demand from jobs and orders. This is compared to a list of available materials during the same time period. If there is not enough material available, it is flagged as an exception item—and is added to a list of items that need to be ordered.

With JobOps effective material and capacity requirements planning can be an integral part of your operation
