Datatex textile software has also a unique textile oriented algorithm allowing order acceptance based on specific resource availability. Moreover all modules work are integrated.
Planning has become the most critical success factor in the textile and apparel business. Quicker delivery times, on-time delivery, smaller lot sizes and online order acceptance, are only some of today’s market expectations.

Production Planning |
Because of the varied and ever-changing nature of the textile and apparel business there are many different approaches to production planning. The most common are: make everything to stock based on forecast; make certain products to stock and others to order; split the production cycle, beginning to stock and completing/finishing to order; purchase all or part of your raw materials on forecast; allocate job lots or stocks to specific customers at order acceptance or shipping; etc. TRP is an ideal application for all these planning models. It creates a production and purchasing plan, derived from demand generated by sales and forecasts, considering stock, current production and purchasing orders. TRP can run based on finite or infinite capacity and generates optimal production lot sizes when required.
