Business Central for Discrete & Process Manufacturers
Manufacturing is where generic implementations break: costing that doesn't reflect the floor, routings nobody maintains, MRP suggestions nobody trusts. We design production, costing and planning around how you actually make product.

Where projects go wrong
Getting manufacturing right in Business Central
Costing method. Chosen to match how you quote and measure margin, not by default.
Routings. Kept as simple as the floor can maintain, so they stay accurate.
Planning. Item planning parameters tuned so MRP suggestions are trusted.
Floor adoption. Output and consumption captured where work happens, not re-keyed later.
Discrete and process manufacturing
Kaspar has led manufacturing implementations across discrete and process environments, including food production at Columbus US and Enavate. Whether you build to order, build to stock or blend batches, the design starts from your shop floor.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Business Central handle process manufacturing?
Yes for many process manufacturers, using production BOMs, versions and lot tracking. Formula-heavy or regulated environments often add an industry ISV; we'll tell you in discovery whether you need one.
Standard or average cost: which fits us?
Standard cost suits stable, repeatable production where you manage variances; average cost suits fluctuating material costs. The right choice depends on how you quote and report margin.
Can Business Central replace our MRP spreadsheet?
Usually, once item planning parameters, lead times and BOMs are accurate. That data work is part of our implementation plan.
