Production Planning and Control Software Built for Smarter Resource Management

Axtension® Production Planning enhances Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations with advanced planning and scheduling capabilities that enable production planners to make faster, more confident decisions. By providing a complete overview of capacity, resource availability, and order priorities, the software helps manufacturing teams orchestrate daily activities with greater agility and accuracy, instead of navigating fragmented data or disconnected planning systems.

The solution also includes visual planning tools that allow teams to easily identify production constraints, spot opportunities for optimization, and adapt to last-minute changes in scheduling or supply. Teams can anticipate and resolve planning conflicts before they impact downstream operations, contributing to more reliable delivery timelines and better use of available resources.

Why Businesses Choose Axtension Software for Production Planning

Reduced Waste and Downtime

Axtension helps planners maintain lean operations by aligning production with real-time material availability, labor capacity, and changing order priorities. This reduces unnecessary overproduction and minimizes costly idle time across machines and work centers.

Streamlined Production Processes

With its intuitive interface and real-time updates, Axtension shortens planning cycles and simplifies the coordination of complex production schedules. This leads to faster execution, fewer manual adjustments, and more predictable outcomes across your operations.

Improved ERP Integration

By extending native capabilities within Dynamics 365, Axtension allows manufacturers to fully integrate production planning with procurement, inventory, and finance. This ensures all departments are aligned and working from the same up-to-date data set.

Better Workflow Visibility

Visual production planning within Axtension gives users a dynamic overview of current and future production workflows. These graphical interfaces make it easy to identify constraints, reschedule tasks, and improve responsiveness without needing to sort through static spreadsheets or disconnected systems.

How D365 Finance and Operations Production Planning Software Works

Material availability

As a production planner, stay informed with the actual raw material availability status of orders to assess whether or not it can be started, or address actions where needed to reduce the lead times required to get resources available sooner.

Visual Resource Planning

See production order details, upcoming orders, and more with streamlined visual planning tools.

Drag and drop assignments in time or to other resources whilst validating capacity, material availability, and the date lines to start and end production in real time.

Resource Capacity Validation

View the resource utilization across a definable period in time to spot supply chain challenges with the demand and address production planning issues exactly where needed.

Logging & Undo

Stay in control with Dynamics 365 production planning that lets you know exactly what has changed, when, and by whom. Easily roll back changes in production planning with planning action logging.

Simulation Planning

The visual production planning and scheduling software creates simulation plans for a site or a selection of resources to see what the expected impact will be if published into operation.

Informed Production Planning Tools for Microsoft Dynamics 365

Production constraints can come from various areas of an organization, but planners typically get a limited view into the factors that impact production. That information exists in Microsoft Dynamics 365, but knowing where to find it or how to incorporate it into your planning? That’s another story.

Get real-time data on sales orders, resource capacity, inventory levels, and more. Embedded in Microsoft Dynamics 365, Axtension® Production Planning software not only accesses and includes this data but also integrates it with visual tools.
