1. Increase Your Manufacturing Efficiency with QAD’s Planning and Scheduling Workbenches Gary Wasserman – Applications Specialist
2. What Do The Analysts Say? “Best-in-Class manufacturers are 49% more likely to have real-time visibility between manufacturing operations and customer orders.” Matthew Littlefield, AberdeenGroup, Manufacturing Operations Management: Capitalizing on the Economic Recovery, March 2010
3. Planning and Scheduling Trends Integration Visibility Automation Tool/Process standardization
4. Planning & Scheduling Phases Months Weeks Days Sales & Operations Planning Resource planning based on forecast & sales projections Master Scheduling & Material Planning Balancing supply/demand/capacity – defining job due dates Production Scheduling Factoring materials, tools, personnel, machine setup times, defining job start and completion times, job sequence.
5. The Scheduler’s Challenge QAD Planning and Scheduling Workbenches
6. Master Scheduler’s Challenge Executives Finance There’s too much cash tied up in inventory! ROI must improve; the stockholders are not happy! Manufacturing Engineering There are too many changes! Provide fixed schedules and the correct parts and delivery will improve. There’s a new product introduction scheduled for the fall! But we need more time for design! Sales Service levels are down. I need more inventory! Whatever it takes to keep the customer happy!
7. Production Scheduler’s Challenge Finance High variances to “plan” (extra setup, downtime, labor), you need to optimize your production schedule. Manufacturing Materials Labor / machine resources not available for 2nd shift – what are you going to do about this? You can’t change the schedule on short notice and expect the materials to be available. Sales Drops in a new high priority order due tomorrow, which order can be moved?

13. Capacity Frame Displays capacity information per selected resource in the Schedule Grid - Balance your planned and required capacity. Schedule Grid The primary context of the workbench. - View and modify your production schedules for each item. Supply/Demand Frame Provides demand & supply information per selected item in the Schedule Grid. - Primary information used for scheduling decision making. MSW Screen Overview
14. Supporting Panels Enables master scheduling action and decision making. Represents over 30 maintenance programs and reports! MSW Screen Overview
15. Production Order Browse Search & group data per user specification Drag & Drop the orders to the desired position on the Sequence Grid. Production Order Sequence Grid Schedule and sequence production orders by item attributes Production Order Maintenance View and maintain all order details PSW Screen Overview
