Fast Planning takes your confirmed customer orders, explodes each order's own BOM, and nets the requirement against live stock and open supply. The shortfall splits cleanly into purchase requisitions to buy and work orders to make — then schedules order-wise by priority on a Gantt. Built for engineering, fabrication and component shops.
Every confirmed order is exploded by hand into a shopping list. It takes days, it misses a sub-level, and by the time the plan is ready the order is already late.
Purchase buys material that's already in the store or already on an open PO, because nobody subtracts stock, open POs and open work orders from the requirement before raising the ask.
Which parts to purchase, which to machine in-house, which to send out for processing — it lives in one planner's head, so requisitions and work orders are late, wrong, or forgotten.
When a priority order jumps the queue, no one can see which machines it blocks or which other customer orders slip — until those orders are late too.
Every order follows the same controlled path — explode, net, split, schedule — whether it's a make-to-order job against a customer OA or a make-to-stock top-up, so procurement and the shop floor act on one plan instead of firefighting shortages.
Fast Planning is cloud and on-premise MRP and production-planning software for manufacturers of every kind, across India and worldwide — this page shows how a make-to-order engineering shop runs the cycle end to end.
Every planning run starts on the Sales Plan. Type in a forecast for make-to-stock items, or pull confirmed customer orders (Order Acceptance) straight in for make-to-order jobs. Each finished good carries the quantity and date it's due, and the plan feeds MRP directly — so what was sold and quoted is exactly what gets exploded and netted, with no re-keying.
The engine explodes each order through its own BOM and Bill of Resources to gross requirements, then nets every item: net requirement = gross demand − stock on hand − open supply (open POs + open work orders + reserved stock). Stock reads live from the shared inventory, and can be reserved against a plan so two orders never double-count the same material. You plan what's genuinely short — nothing more.
The netted shortfall splits by how each item is sourced. Raw material and bought-out items go to the Bought-out Plan and become Purchase Requisitions handed to purchasing. In-house semi-finished goods (SFG) and outsourced (OSL) items go to the Component Plan and become Work Orders with a WO specification and routing. Both flow natively into Fast Production, Inventory & Purchase — no interface, no reconciliation.
Once work orders exist they're sequenced by order priority and resource priority and laid out on a DayPilot Gantt scheduler board. Pull a rush customer order forward and the effect on every other order and machine is on screen. Work orders print individually or in batch as job cards, are tracked to completion, and consumption books back against stock to feed the next run.
Dhruv AI is the Fast Suite's AI analytics layer. It gives planners a role dashboard over live plan, netting and schedule data, a natural-language chat that turns a plain-English question into a query — validated through a read-only security sandbox — and clustering that groups delay and shortage-cause remarks into labelled themes, so a recurring risk surfaces before an order slips.
Capture demand from confirmed customer orders or a forecast, set order and finished-part schedules, and seed MRP directly for make-to-order and make-to-stock alike.
Explode each order's BOM level by level, then net against stock, open POs, open WOs and reserved stock — planning only the genuine shortfall.
The buy side of the netted result — raw material and bought-out shortfalls become Purchase Requisitions, handed to purchasing as PR → PO → GRN.
The make side — in-house SFG and outsourced OSL shortfalls become Work Orders with a WO specification and process-sheet routing, printed as job cards.
Sequence work orders by order and resource priority on a DayPilot Gantt board, checking daily machine load and projected availability before you commit.
A Reorder-Level Dashboard auto-suggests PRs between runs, plus Sales Plan / RM / Component planning MIS and a Dhruv AI dashboard with plain-English queries.
Yes. Confirmed customer orders are captured on the Sales Plan and exploded through each order's own order-specific BOM, level by level — so the plan matches the variant you actually sold.
Net requirement = gross demand − stock on hand − open supply (open POs + open WOs + reserved stock). Stock reads live, and can be reserved so two orders don't double-count it.
Raw material and bought-out items go to the Bought-out Plan as Purchase Requisitions; in-house SFG and outsourced OSL items go to the Component Plan as Work Orders with routing.
Yes — work orders are sequenced by order and resource priority on a DayPilot Gantt, so a rush order can be pulled forward and its effect on every other order and machine is visible.
Yes, in one run. Order-driven and forecast items net against the same live stock, and a Reorder-Level Dashboard suggests a PR automatically between planning runs.
No. This page leads with the make-to-order angle, but Fast Planning is cloud and on-premise MRP for manufacturers of every kind, across India and worldwide.
