Piloting production management software for manufacturers in Riyadh

Riyadh plants often quote for project buyers who want a firm date before they sign, and that date is only as good as the plan behind it. Symake's production planning starts from confirmed orders and the forecast, builds a master schedule, then explodes each bill of materials to show what must be bought, made or sent out. A workshop in the Second Industrial City can see that its welding cell is booked for the next three weeks before sales promises a fourth job. A head office in Al Olaya and a site near Sudair look at the same plan, so purchasing and the plant stop working from separate spreadsheets. When a buyer changes a quantity, the plan recalculates and shows which dates move.

What the planning team in Riyadh works with

Nine parts of the plan, from demand to dispatch date

Demand view

Confirmed orders, open quotations and the forecast sit side by side, so planners see what is firm and what is still a guess.

Master schedule

Weekly quantities per finished item are set against demand, with frozen weeks that only a named planner can change.

Material requirements

Each bill of materials is exploded across levels to show net needs after stock on hand and open purchase orders.

Purchase suggestions

The system proposes what to buy, how much and by when, and the buyer converts approved lines into supplier orders.

Capacity load

Hours booked on each work centre are shown week by week, so an overload appears before the plant feels it.

Subcontract jobs

Operations such as coating or heat treatment can go out, with material issued to the subcontractor and its return tracked.

Promise dates

Sales checks a delivery date against material and capacity before confirming it to the buyer in writing.

Lot tracing

Lots and serial numbers follow material from receipt to finished item, so one batch can be traced in both directions.

Plan changes

When an order is moved, cancelled or split, the planner sees which work orders and purchases are affected.

From a Riyadh tender date to a plan that holds

Many Riyadh orders arrive with a required date already fixed by the buyer's project. Symake's planning tool checks that date against open capacity and incoming material before sales replies. If the date is tight, the planner can split the order, add a shift on one work centre or move part of the routing to a subcontractor, and see the effect at once. The reply then goes out with a date the plant has already tested.

How a Riyadh planning project runs

Six stages, delivered from Bengaluru with on-site workshops

Plant walk

Consultants visit your Riyadh site to map work centres, routings, lead times and how orders reach planning today.

Data cleanup

Items, bills of materials and supplier lead times are checked and loaded, because every plan depends on them.

Planning rules

Reorder rules, frozen periods and lot sizes are agreed with your planners and set up in the system.

Pilot cycle

A few product families run through a full planning cycle while the old method continues alongside.

Training

Planners, buyers and supervisors are trained in English on the screens each of them uses daily.

Go-live

The full plan switches over, and remote support hours from India overlap your working week.

Production planning for Riyadh plants

Riyadh producers work under ZATCA rules: VAT at 15% and the FATOORA e-invoicing waves. Wave 25 covers businesses whose VAT-subject revenue passed SAR 187,500 in any year from 2022 to 2025, with integration due by 1 February 2027. Planning and tax meet at both ends of the plan. Purchase suggestions turn into supplier bills that carry input VAT, and finished lots turn into sales invoices that need the UBL XML file, cryptographic stamp, QR code and the Arabic fields ZATCA requires. B2B invoices are cleared in real time, so the dispatch and the invoice leave together.

Why Riyadh planners move off spreadsheets

A spreadsheet plan is correct on the day it is built. Symake's planning tool recalculates when orders, stock or capacity change, and it shares one version with purchasing, the plant and sales.

✓ Recalculates after every order change

✓ One plan shared by sales and the plant

✓ Shortages shown before the week starts

✓ Supplier lead times kept per item

✓ Tablet view for supervisors on site

✓ Dashboards for the Riyadh head office

Frequently Asked Questions

Can plants in Riyadh's Second and Third Industrial Cities share one plan?

Yes. Each plant gets its own work centres and warehouses, and planners see both in one schedule. Transfers between sites are planned like any other supply, so a part made in one industrial city can feed assembly in the other.

How does the planning tool decide what to buy?

It nets demand against stock on hand, open purchase orders and planned output, then applies the lead time and reorder rules you set per item. The result is a dated list of suggested purchases, which a buyer reviews and approves before any order goes to a supplier.

Do Symake consultants travel to Riyadh?

Yes. Symake delivers from Bengaluru, and consultants fly to Riyadh for the plant walk, planning workshops, training and go-live. Between visits the work continues online, and support hours overlap the Saudi working week.

Will invoices raised after dispatch meet the FATOORA wave 25 rules?

Sales invoices are produced as UBL XML with the cryptographic stamp and QR code, B2B invoices are cleared in real time, and each one carries the Arabic fields ZATCA requires. Wave 25 businesses must be integrated by 1 February 2027.

Can make-to-order and make-to-stock items be planned together?

Yes. Make-to-order items are planned against specific sales orders, while make-to-stock items follow the forecast and reorder points. Both draw on the same capacity, so the schedule shows where they compete for one work centre.

How are outside operations planned?

A routing step can be marked as external. The plan then creates a subcontract order with the material to send, the expected return date and the agreed cost, and the next internal step waits until the goods are back.

Can a finished lot be traced back to its raw materials?

Every receipt can carry a lot or serial number. When output is booked, the system records which lots were consumed, so a quality question can be followed from a buyer's delivery back to the supplier batch.

Is training offered in Arabic for our Riyadh team?

Training and support are delivered in English, and the screens are in English. Saudi tax invoices still include the Arabic fields ZATCA requires, so the documents your buyers receive meet the rule while staff work in English.
