Fractional BOMs. Parallel Routings. Zero Impossible Schedules.

Your engineering team designs BOMs with percentage-based consumption and routes with parallel sub-assemblies that the system validates before any job reaches the floor. When a $10,000 mold doesn't fit the target press, the assignment is blocked instead of the machine being destroyed.

Production Planning Impact

Measure the Cost of Bad Planning

Rigid planning tools don't just slow you down. They bleed margin through wasted setups, phantom inventory, and schedules that collapse by midday. Naologic's production planning engine eliminates these silent killers with engineering-grade precision at every stage of the production lifecycle.

  • 80% reduction in scheduling rework when routing dependencies and tooling availability are validated before job release
  • $40K+ average monthly margin loss from production runs launched against missing raw materials or unavailable molds
  • 3x faster BOM configuration using percentage-based consumption strategies vs. manual spreadsheet calculations
  • 100% WIP visibility across every routing step - from raw material induction to final quality checkpoint

Core Planning Engine

Replace Your Spreadsheet Matrix With One Verified Pipeline

Legacy ERPs force you to manage BOMs, routing, tooling, and material logistics in disconnected modules - or worse, in Excel. Naologic fuses these into a single, validated production planning pipeline where every downstream step inherits verified data from the step before it.

Intelligent Bill of Materials

Define components with advanced fractional consumption strategies. Handle percentage-based recipes and dynamic weight calculations for process manufacturing - not just discrete part counts.

Visual Route Strategy Canvas

Architect multi-stage production pathways on a drag-and-drop node canvas. Map parallel sub-assemblies, define merge points, and validate the entire directed acyclic graph before releasing to the floor.

Automated Tooling Verification

Link required molds, dies, and fixtures to specific routing steps. The scheduler cross-references clamping force limits and maintenance status before allowing any job to be scheduled.

Step-Level Material Staging

Break your master BOM into phased picking tickets by routing step. Warehouse logistics delivers only the exact components needed at each workstation, not the entire bill at Station 1.

Bill of Materials

Recipes That Match Your Physical Reality

Flat BOMs built for discrete assembly - "1 screw, 1 bracket" - fail catastrophically in process manufacturing environments. Chemical blending, plastic compounding, and food production demand fractional consumption logic, percentage-based ingredient ratios, and dynamic yield calculations that adjust with batch size. Naologic's BOM engine handles both worlds natively: fixed-quantity discrete components alongside percentage-based continuous formulations within the same bill.

  • Fixed quantity and percentage-based consumption strategies per line item
  • Advanced calculation modes: quantity + percentage hybrid formulations
  • Dynamic batch-size scaling for process manufacturing recipes
  • Multi-variant BOM support with distinct consumption logic per variant
  • Direct linkage from BOM components to specific routing operations

Routing Architecture

Map Every Path Through Your Factory

A 12-step manufacturing process described in a flat text list guarantees operators will skip steps and engineering logic will fail on the floor. Naologic replaces static routing documents with a live, validated production topology. Define sequential pathways, model parallel sub-assemblies, and enforce chronological dependencies - all on an interactive canvas backed by algorithmic validation.

Interactive Route Strategy Canvas

Drag operation nodes onto a visual whiteboard. Connect them with directional arrows to define the exact chronological prerequisites for your production flow. The canvas natively supports parallel processing logic - Sub-assembly A and Sub-assembly B run simultaneously before merging at a downstream quality checkpoint. Engineers can see the critical path instantly, not buried in a spreadsheet formula.

  • Supports unlimited parallel branches per routing profile

Intelligent Route Analysis (DAG Validation)

Every time an engineer saves a routing canvas, Naologic executes a background directed acyclic graph validation. If the system detects a circular dependency - Step 3 requiring Step 4, while Step 4 simultaneously requires Step 3 - the save is rejected and the conflicting nodes are highlighted in red. Engineering errors are caught algorithmically, not discovered during a live production run.

  • Circular dependency detection prevents impossible production sequences

Route Planning

Pre-Plan Your Fallback Before the Bottleneck Hits

When your primary machine goes down or hits capacity, scrambling to reroute production through alternative equipment halts the entire factory. Naologic lets engineers design and save multiple alternative route plans for each product. If the primary CNC is overbooked, instantly pivot the manufacturing order to a pre-validated secondary route using older machines - with accurate cost recalculations applied automatically. Zero scrambling. Zero guesswork. The fallback route is already engineered.

Routing Precision

Control Every Variable at the Step Level

  • Work Start Rules
    • Dictate whether downstream machines can begin work while the previous step is still running, or enforce hard stops that mandate full batch completion. Prevent the paint department from spraying parts that welding hasn't finished.
  • Picking Strategies
  • Input Parts by Step
  • Output Parts (WIP Tracking)
  • Real-Time Material Consumption
  • Work Instructions per Step

Work Center Intelligence

Precise Machine-Level Costing

Combine fixed asset depreciation with variable utility and maintenance expenses to calculate a fully burdened hourly burn rate per machine. Your quotes will never underprice a complex job again.

  • Direct labor rate per work center
  • Energy consumption burden allocation
  • Maintenance amortization built into hourly rate
  • Fully burdened rate feeds quoting and COGS

Capacity Time Standards

Schedules that ignore setup and cleanup time collapse by noon. Define exact durations for machine preparation, tool changeovers, and post-run cleaning. The Gantt chart reserves this non-productive time automatically.

  • Default setup and cleanup durations per machine
  • Changeover time automatically added to schedule blocks
  • Capacity engine prevents overbooking shifts
  • Split jobs across days when capacity is exceeded

SKU-Specific Output Levels

A press might produce simple Product A at 500 units/hour but complex Product B at only 100. Map output levels dynamically by the intersection of machine and product for perfectly accurate run times.

  • Per-product throughput rates by work center
  • Scheduling engine uses specific rates over averages
  • Quoting accuracy tied to granular machine speeds
  • Supports unit-per-hour and weight-per-hour metrics
