WORK WITH THE RIGHT CONTEXT
Release a schedule with visible assumptions
The planner reviews demand alongside material requirements, work-centre calendars and known constraints. Proposed orders expose shortages and capacity conflicts before release. An approved schedule communicates the agreed sequence to execution teams. When a rush order or breakdown changes priorities, the revised plan retains its relationship to the earlier baseline and the reason for change.

CORE WORKFLOWS
Production Planning features that follow the work
Choose the modules your team needs. The agreed configuration defines included features, data access and connected systems.
01
Demand inputs
Bring approved orders or forecasts into the planning workspace.
02
Material readiness
Review required components and identify shortages.
03
Capacity review
Compare proposed work with available work centres and shifts.
04
Schedule control
Retain approved versions and communicate changes to execution teams.
WORKFLOW AUTOMATION & RPA
Move routine work forward. Keep exceptions visible.
Approved demand creates planning checks; the released schedule routes work to the agreed execution system.
01DemandCapture the source and owner.
02MaterialsCheck business rules and evidence.
03CapacityConfirm the authorised decision.
04ScheduleReturn the reference and exceptions.
Use supported connectors and event-driven workflows where suitable. For a legacy screen-based task, RPA can be scoped with controlled credentials, exception handling, monitoring and recovery. Record identifiers and duplicate checks help prevent a retry from creating a second transaction.
AI AGENTS · NLP · VOICE
Ask clearly. Review the evidence. Decide with context.
Configure an app-specific agent to explain a material or capacity conflict and prepare a scheduling option; planners approve the released plan.
Schedule release, stock corrections and production acceptance require supervisor approval.
Agent tools, allowed actions, knowledge sources and access boundaries are agreed during solution design. The example question shows a proposed interaction, not a live AI connection.
Which production orders are missing materials for next week?
Natural-language access
Ask an agreed business question, retrieve only permitted records and show the source behind the answer. Unsupported questions should return a clear limit rather than an invented response.
Voice where it helps
Optional speech input can capture the question or task. Show the transcript for confirmation, keep typing available and validate the chosen language, device and working environment.
DATA ANALYTICS
Measure the process. Understand the exception.
Connect the selected operational measures to their source records. Agree ownership, filters and refresh intervals so the team knows what the numbers mean.
01
Schedule adherence
Compare the current period with an agreed baseline. Separate open work from completed records.
02
Material readiness
Investigate by owner, date, entity or location where those fields are available and permitted.
03
Capacity constraints
Follow the exception to its source and assign an action. Validate the definition before using it as a KPI.
Operational dashboards can be extended with Power BI or your approved analytics platform. Predictive analysis is scoped only where historical data, evaluation and monitoring support it.

Review the record and its evidence before confirming an action.
MOBILE · TABLET · LAPTOP · DESKTOP
The right task on the screen in front of you.
Use a focused mobile or tablet experience to capture production progress or check work instructions. Give laptop and desktop users more room for lists, comparisons and detailed reporting.
Responsive layouts, keyboard access and touch controls are part of the design brief. Camera, barcode, voice and offline options are included only where they suit the task and have been tested on the agreed devices.
Voice availability depends on the chosen speech service, language, microphone permission and environment. Sensitive information stays visible only to the authorised user; noisy or shared areas need a practical alternative.
ERP & ENTERPRISE CONNECTIONS
Keep your core systems. Connect the work around them.
MetaDynamic manages integration design, configuration and testing. Your users work through the application; your technical team gets clear ownership, monitoring and support arrangements.
SAP
Finance, purchasing, inventory, production and maintenance records; SAP HR data where relevant.
Review the deployed SAP product, authorised objects and supported connector or interface.
Infor
Operational records for Infor LN, M3 or CloudSuite, according to your deployed product.
Confirm available Infor OS/ION services, permissions and transaction coverage.
Microsoft
Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, identity and analytics services relevant to the application.
Select licensed connectors and the appropriate Dynamics 365 or Microsoft data source.
Custom ERP
Your existing master data, transaction records and agreed extension points.
Choose a supported interface, controlled file exchange or supervised RPA after system review.
Compatibility is confirmed against your product version, licensed services, permissions, required fields and supported operations. Native connectors, vendor interfaces, file exchange and RPA are different options—not a promise that every platform connects without setup.
DATA PROTECTION & CONTROL
Define who can see, change and approve.
Security requirements belong in the application design and acceptance criteria. Confirm the controls for the selected hosting, identity, data and AI services before release.
Identity & access
Scope SSO and MFA with the approved identity provider. Map access by role, entity and record, and separate preparation from approval where required.
Data & recovery
Agree encryption, data location, retention, backup and recovery requirements. Store credentials in a managed secret store and minimise sensitive data in logs.
AI & audit
Apply source-system permissions to retrieval. Define permitted AI services, data handling and retention; log tool actions and require approval for consequential changes.
Validation & support
Test access boundaries, integrations and recovery scenarios. Agree vulnerability testing, monitoring and support ownership for the deployed configuration.
VALUE & ROI
Build a business case your team can check.
Start with minutes spent checking and preparing a production plan. Measure the baseline, validate the target in a pilot, and include implementation and ongoing costs.
Potential time released116.7 hours / month
Estimated annual realised value₹6,30,000
First-year investment₹3,20,000
Estimated first-year ROI96.9%
Estimated simple payback4.7 months
Measure for this app: Minutes spent checking and preparing a production plan. The starting values are illustrative assumptions, not MetaDynamic customer results or guaranteed savings. Time released is capacity; it becomes cash savings only when costs are actually reduced.
Calculation and assumptions
Monthly hours = volume × max(current minutes − target minutes, 0) ÷ 60. Annual realised value = monthly hours × loaded hourly cost × realisation percentage × 12. First-year investment = one-time investment + 12 × monthly running cost. ROI = (annual realised value − first-year investment) ÷ first-year investment × 100. Simple payback = one-time investment ÷ (monthly realised value − monthly running cost), where the denominator is positive.
The model assumes 12 months at steady-state use. It excludes ramp-up delays, financing, tax and unquantified benefits. Avoid double-counting the same time savings across applications. Enter your own values; all calculation stays in your browser.

APPLICATION QUESTIONS
Production Planning FAQs
Which features are included in Production Planning?
The proposal specifies the application modules, user roles, AI-agent actions, analytics, deployment and support included in your configuration. The interface walkthrough uses example records; delivered screens and enabled actions are validated against the agreed scope.
Can this connect with our existing ERP or business platform?
Relevant connection options include SAP, Infor, Microsoft, Custom ERP. We review your product version, licensed interfaces, permissions and required operations before confirming compatibility. MetaDynamic manages the agreed integration and testing.
Does this include AI agents, NLP and voice?
These can be scoped around the application workflow. Natural-language responses need approved sources and permission-aware retrieval; voice requires a supported language, device and speech service. Schedule release, stock corrections and production acceptance require supervisor approval.
Do we need to build REST API integrations ourselves?
MetaDynamic can deliver and support the agreed integrations. The implementation may use native connectors, vendor APIs, controlled files or RPA. Authentication, licensing, data mapping and error handling still need to be configured and tested.
Will it work on mobile, tablet, laptop and desktop?
We design the selected tasks responsively and agree a device/browser test matrix before rollout. Native mobile, offline, scanning and voice capabilities are separate scope decisions where needed; they are not implied by a responsive website.
How are security and ROI confirmed?
Security controls are agreed for the deployed architecture and tested before release. ROI is estimated from your process volumes, measured time, costs and benefit-realisation assumptions, then checked after a pilot. The calculator is an estimate, not a guaranteed return.
