MFG Accelerator

by Marco Francesco Ferrari

Boost Business Central manufacturing with automation and productivity enhancements.

MFG Accelerator extends the manufacturing capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, providing automation, visibility, and usability improvements for planners, operators, and production managers.


Designed by Marco Francesco Ferrari, one of the earliest Business Central manufacturing experts in Italy, the app focuses on simplifying daily production activities and improving data access and accuracy throughout the shop floor.


Main features

  • Dynamic Bill of Materials by Variant – Automatically builds the bill of materials based on the item variant, eliminating the need to create separate BOMs for each variant and link them to Stockkeeping Units (SKUs). Both the MPS/MRP planning engine and manual production management dynamically generate the correct BOM for each variant.
  • Production Progress Dashboard to monitor and post the progress of all active production orders in a single screen.
  • BOM structure for serial and lot numbers, allowing full traceability of all components used to manufacture a serialized product.

  • Bulk update tool for planning parameters of Stockkeeping Units (SKUs)

  • Holiday management tool for adding non-working days to shop calendars

  • Enhanced visibility of production order details and related documents

  • Quick access to SKU, item, routing, and component information

  • Optimized pages and actions for faster production data entry and tracking

  • Optimized FactBoxes for real-time shop floor insights

  • Integrated shortcuts to reduce manual steps and errors


    • Key benefits

  • Accelerate production and simplify planning for manufacturing environments with multiple product variants or configuration options.

  • Save time during production planning and execution.

    Reduce errors by providing clear and contextual manufacturing data.

    Improve team productivity and shop floor coordination.

    Enhance visibility into production progress, material usage, and component traceability.

    Enable full component-level traceability for serialized and lot-tracked products, with clear visibility into the BOM structure and genealogy of each finished item.
