Infor LN Assembly Management: Efficiently control assembly processes
Assembly processes are often complex: different production models, a wide variety of products, tight cycle times, and strict deadlines. Many companies quickly reach their limits with traditional production orders—especially when material provision and sequence planning have to be seamlessly integrated.
As one of the few Infor LN partners with experience in the assembly management module, we can help you solve these challenges precisely and efficiently.
Challenges in assembly production
In manufacturing companies, there are very different requirements between classic production orders and cycle-based assembly. Especially with highly varied products, fixed cycle times, and precise material provision, the production module quickly reaches its limits: sequence planning, flexible parts lists, or the automatic adjustment of dependent supply lines are hardly feasible. This often leads to scheduling problems, unnecessary manual effort, and inefficient processes.
Typical challenges:

Production orders vs. cycle-based assembly – no native support for cycle times and sequence planning in the production module.

Materials are requested too early by the system, even though they are not needed until later in the process; station-related material control is lacking.

When rescheduling main orders, all dependent sub-orders (e.g., supplier lines) must also be rescheduled—which is difficult to do in the production module.
The solution – Infor LN Assembly Management
Assembly management allows you to optimally map cycle-based assembly processes—without the limitations of the production module.
Your advantages:
- On-time deliveries without bottlenecks thanks to precise sequence planning
- Cyclical production with fixed stations and cycle times
- Greater flexibility thanks to flexible parts lists and station-specific material control – materials are provided exactly where and when they are needed.
- Error-free rescheduling through automatic adjustment of supplier lines in the event of sequence changes
- Precise cost control through efficient post-calculation
- Optimized material flows – lean, demand-oriented supply and just-in-time delivery reduce inventories.
- Less manual effort thanks to automated workflows, barcode integration, and EDI
- Future-proof scalability for growing quantities, product diversity, and complex line structures
