Infor Production Control is the heart of every manufacturing operation — it ensures the right product gets built, the right way, at the right time. CSI gives full visibility into what’s happening on your shop floor: which machines are running efficiently, which materials are needed, which jobs are in progress, and what’s coming next.

Instead of guessing by juggling spreadsheets, you see a clear, real-time picture of capacity, inventory, quality, and scheduling.

Coordinating staff, equipment, and materials to ensure work flows smoothly through every routing stage. Fewer delays, fewer shortages, and fewer surprises.

Production Control helps you deliver exactly what the customer ordered — on time, at the right cost, and with consistent quality. CSI transforms complexity into control, and profit.

Infor’s Production Control module gives you the flexibility to plan and run jobs the way your factory works.

• Production Schedules: Schedule by plant, planner, product family, or even a key customer — whatever makes the most sense for your business. That keeps the big picture organized while still managing the details.
  
• Job Creation: Create jobs to fit your workflow —for one-off builds (high mix/short run), to low mix/long run orders, or from forecasts and schedules. It adapts to your production environment, whichever manufacturing environment you utilize.
  
• Scheduler: Groups different items into one batch to process together — perfect for minimizing setups. Effectively schedule machine time while minimizing changeovers.

Your company’s built-in insurance policy for product integrity. Woven into every part of your operation, from purchasing to shipping. QMS helps you meet and exceed customer specs, comply with regulations, and stop quality problems before they become expensive failures.

QMS is your digital quality department — one that never sleeps, never forgets, and never loses paperwork. Giving you tools to handle non-conformances, corrective actions, inspections, audits, and traceability — all automatically linked to your ERP data.

The bridge between supply and demand (your factory and your customers) — ensuring every quote, order, and promise you give is accurate, realistic, and profitable.

It ties your sales, customer service, production, and inventory together in real time. When a customer calls asking for a quote — the system instantly checks product configuration rules, pricing, material availability, and capacity on the shop floor. You can tell customers immediately what can be built, when it can ship, and how much it will cost.

• Real-Time Availability: The system checks materials, labor, and machine capacity automatically before committing to a delivery date — you promise what you can produce.
• Smart Quoting: Build complex quotes in minutes with accurate configurations and customer-specific pricing. No more manual lookups or quoting errors.
  
• Instant Order Conversion: Convert approved quotes into production orders at the push of a button — no re-entry, no lost details.
• Automated Validation: Built-in checks catch invalid configurations, pricing errors, or credit issues before the order moves forward.
• Integrated Communication: Every quote, change, and delivery update is recorded and visible across departments — so sales, engineering, and production are always aligned.
• Customer Follow-Up: Keep track of follow-up tasks and customer commitments, ensuring no call or issue slips through the cracks.

Infor Customer Service & Order Management transforms your quoting and order process into a seamless, reliable system — so customers get answers faster, and your factory delivers exactly what was promised, on time, every time.

The system that keeps your production running smoothly with complete, real-time control over your materials — where they are, what they cost, and when you’ll need them. It ties together purchasing, planning, and inventory so you always know what’s available, what’s on order, and what’s at risk of shortage.

You buy smarter, store smarter, and plan smarter — ensuring you’ve got the right materials in the right place at the right time, without overstocking or scrambling at the last minute.

• Multi-Site Inventory Control: Track inventory across multiple warehouses, plants, or even supplier locations, with instant visibility into quantities, costs, and locations.
• Smart Purchasing: Create and manage purchase requisitions, standard or blanket POs, and vendor quotes in one place. You can buy materials for stock, a specific job, or even a customer order directly — whatever fits your workflow.
  
• Complete Traceability: Every item can be tracked by lot or serial number — from purchase through use, shipment, or return — ensuring full traceability, compliance and recalls.
• Flexible Costing: Each item can be costed uniquely — standard, average, FIFO, LIFO, or actual — giving you flexible cost control for both financial and operational decisions.
• Vendor Management: Manages vendor contracts, pricing tiers, and performance data in one place. You always know who delivers the best value and on-time performance.
• Cycle Counting & Accuracy: Make it easy to maintain accurate inventory through cycle counts or full physicals, eliminating write-offs or surprises.
• Seamless Transfers: Move inventory between warehouses or sites easily — with full intercompany accounting where needed.

In a manufacturing environment, poor inventory visibility means late jobs, wasted cash, and missed opportunities. With Infor’s Materials Management, planners and buyers can react immediately to changing demand — with the confidence that data is accurate and up to date.

Statistical Sales Forecasting converts guesswork into science. It uses your historical data — sales, production, and demand patterns — to automatically calculate accurate forecasts for every product, customer, and warehouse. Instead of relying on gut feel or spreadsheets, it gives you a data-driven picture of what’s coming, when, and how much you’ll need to meet it.

The system isn’t just about predicting sales — it helps you balance inventory levels, reduce carrying costs, and improve on-time delivery by aligning production and purchasing with true demand.

• “What-If” Analysis: Run scenarios to see how promotions, seasonality, or market changes can affect future demand — before making huge inventory or production decisions.
• Smart Forecasting: Automatically calculates forecasts using proven statistical models that adapt to your historical data. You can also combine them with input from sales teams or customers for a collaborative forecast.
  
• Dynamic Adjustments: Easily adjust forecasts for special situations — any new product launch or competitor activity — at the item or product-family level.
• Inventory Optimization: Calculates the perfect safety stock, reorder points, and order sizes for each item based on lead time, demand variability, and desired service level — so you never overstock or have stock outs.
• Top-Down Forecasting: For complex or highly configurable products, you can forecast components at a family level and let customer orders drive the final assembly — perfect for make-to-order, configure-to-order and engineer-to-order environments.
• Real-Time Alerts: Be notified when actual demand strays too far from forecast, to proactively adjust plans and avoid surprises.

With Infor Advanced Forecasting, you don’t just react— you stay ahead of it. Keeping inventory lean, production smooth, and cash flow strong.

When you open a purchase order, you can see the signed contract, packing slip, and invoice right there — no hunting, no paper shuffling, no delays.

• Seamless ERP Integration: Never leave your ERP to find a document — IDM is built right in, linking files directly to records like POs, jobs, customers, and vendors.
• Centralized Document Repository: Every document — from shop floor specs to customer invoices — is stored in one secure database with version control and easy search tools.
  
• Digital Workflows: Replace manual routing with automated, rules-based workflows. Documents which move automatically for approvals, reviews, and archiving — no printing, emailing, or waiting for signatures.
• OCR & Barcode Scanning: IDM uses smart scanning to recognize documents, extract data, and file them instantly — perfect for accounts payable, production records, and HR paperwork.
• Electronic Signatures: Integrated DocuSign support lets you capture and store approvals digitally, cutting down delays and paper handling.
