Production Planning and Management Software for Manufacturers
Production planning and management software helps manufacturers decide what to make, when, and with which materials, people and machines, and then tracks the work until it is finished. Manacle production management software gives you live status of every job, from materials in to dispatch out, without chasing updates on the shop floor.
Plan shifts, materials and capacity with fewer surprises, set up flows that mirror your real process and see bottlenecks early on simple dashboards. The software connects with stores, packing and dispatch in mSELL ERP and with your existing tools, and is tuned for sectors from textiles to pharma and FMCG. It is production planning software and production management software in one.

What is Production Planning and Control?
Production planning and control (PPC) is the process of planning production against demand, scheduling jobs on machines and people, arranging materials, and then monitoring actual output against the plan. Good PPC keeps delivery dates realistic, reduces idle time and avoids material shortages.
Production planning and control software automates this cycle. It turns orders and forecasts into production plans, reserves materials from stores, tracks work in progress and highlights delays, so supervisors can act before a missed deadline becomes a customer problem.
How Production Planning Works
Production planning in mSELL ERP connects demand, materials and capacity. Sales orders and forecasts create the plan, the bill of materials (BOM) works out the raw and packing materials needed, and the store management module checks stock and reserves it.
Work orders are released to the shop floor, consumption and output are recorded as production runs, and finished goods move to the packing management module and then to dispatch. Each step updates stock and cost, so planners always know what can be produced and when.
How Production Management Works in mSELL ERP
- Step 1Sales orders and forecasts create the production plan.
- Step 2Materials are reserved or issued from stores.
- Step 3Jobs are scheduled across lines, shifts and people.
- Step 4Work in progress and output are tracked on the shop floor.
- Step 5Finished goods move to packing and dispatch.

Does it connect with store and packing modules?
Yes. Production management is part of mSELL ERP and connects with store, packing and dispatch modules.
Can it be configured for our process?
