DISCRETE MANUFACTURING & EPC CONSTRUCTION

Build the Future of Manufacturing & Construction Operations

Unify engineering bill of materials (BOM), shop-floor manufacturing execution, construction job costing, and supply chain logistics with Microsoft Dynamics 365.

STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE

Strategic Imperative: Eliminating Disconnects between Engineering and Job Site Execution

Strategic Imperative: Industrial manufacturers and engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) contractors operate in margin-sensitive environments where schedule delays, unbudgeted scope creep, and material waste destroy project profitability. Routeget provides unified operational control.

Modern manufacturing and construction enterprises operate under severe operational pressure: fluctuating raw material costs, skilled labor shortages, complex multi-tier supply chains, and demanding client delivery schedules. When engineering blueprints, procurement contracts, shop-floor work orders, and job site billing operate across disconnected point solutions, project margins erode through rework, material delays, and billing disputes.

Routeget’s Manufacturing & Construction practice delivers robust enterprise cloud architectures built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and Project Operations. We connect product design, master production scheduling (MPS), shop-floor manufacturing execution systems (MES), and job site construction accounting on a single, auditable platform.

From tracking Work-in-Progress (WIP) and engineering change orders (ECO) to managing subcontractor pay applications and earned value metrics, Routeget empowers industrial leaders to optimize plant throughput, maintain strict project budget controls, and deliver complex capital projects on time and on budget.

EXECUTIVE FAQ

Manufacturing & Construction Practice FAQ

Key technical, job costing, and shop-floor scheduling considerations for manufacturing and construction leaders.

How does Dynamics 365 handle engineering change orders (ECO) during active production runs?

Dynamics 365 Engineering Change Management (ECM) provides version-controlled engineering change requests and orders. When engineering modifies a CAD model or BOM, ECM executes automated impact analyses across existing inventory, open purchase orders, and scheduled production jobs, allowing controlled phase-in dates or immediate effectivity with complete audit history.

How does the system calculate Work-in-Progress (WIP) and revenue recognition for construction projects?

Dynamics 365 Project Operations utilizes percentage-of-completion (POC) accounting based on cost-to-cost or effort-to-effort methods conforming to ASC 606 and IFRS 15. The system tracks costs in designated WIP accounts and automatically posts revenue accrual journals as milestones or cost thresholds are reached.

Can shop-floor operators view CAD drawings and assembly blueprints directly on the touch kiosks?

Yes. The Dynamics 365 Production Floor Execution interface allows document attachments—including PDF schematics, CAD viewer links, and assembly instruction videos—to be viewed directly at the operator workstation when starting a production job.

How does Routeget automate subcontractor compliance and lien waiver collection?

We configure automated workflow rules in Dynamics 365 Finance. When a subcontractor submits a progress payment application, the system automatically checks certificate of insurance (COI) expiration dates and generates a conditional lien waiver. Invoices cannot be approved for disbursement until signed digital lien waivers are uploaded.
