Sage X3 manufacturing covers everything from discrete to process to mixed-mode production. Getting BOMs, routings, MRP, and costing right is the difference between a system that runs the plant and a system that fights the plant.
PRH Consulting's manufacturing practice is led by Robert Banes and Ryan Wilkinson, both with 20+ years of hands-on manufacturing and supply-chain experience. They have configured Sage X3 for food & beverage, industrial, and discrete manufacturers.
Problems we solve
- BOMs and routings that don't reflect how the plant actually operates
- MRP suggestions that no one trusts or acts on
- Production costs that don't match reality
- Shop floor processes that bypass the system
- Long production lead times and poor on-time delivery
What we deliver
BOM & routing design
Item structures, phantom assemblies, sub-contracting, and routing operations modeled to match physical production.
MRP configuration & tuning
Planning policies, lead times, lot sizing, and safety stock set to produce actionable suggestions.
Shop floor execution
Work order release, time tracking, material backflushing, and shop floor screens configured for the operators who use them.
Costing
Standard, average, FIFO, and actual costing models — including variance analysis your controller can explain.
Our approach
Floor-up design
We start with how the product is actually made, not with default Sage X3 demo data.
Operator-friendly
Shop floor screens are designed for people in safety boots, not for desk users.
Tied to the P&L
Production data flows cleanly into costing and financial reporting.
Outcomes you can expect
- MRP suggestions planners actually execute
- Production costs that reconcile to the GL
- On-time delivery improvements that show up in customer service metrics
- Shop floor adoption instead of shop floor workarounds
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with process manufacturers?
Yes — including food & beverage, ingredient-based, and batch process operations with lot traceability, expirations, and recall requirements.
Can you fix MRP without re-implementing?
Yes. Most MRP problems we see are configuration and master-data issues that can be corrected in a focused engagement.
Do you handle subcontract manufacturing?
Yes, including outside processing routings, subcontract POs, and consignment material at the subcontractor.
