Discrete manufacturing: How production scheduling works

On the Logan Consulting blog, Jackson Morris wrote that Business Central includes production scheduling in the same system used for inventory, purchasing, and finance. He noted that this gives planners one connected view of the business instead of having to gather and compare information from multiple tools.

In his blog post, Morris explained:

• What production scheduling is in D365BC
• Why it matters for discrete manufacturers
• Key capabilities: work centers, machine centers, and capacity planning
• MRP, MPS, and the production order lifecycle
• Preparing for growth: when to extend native scheduling
