Opportunities & Challenges QAD Production Scheduler
The OLD WAY • Multiple Screens • Multiple Reports • No Continuity Between Screens & Reports • Information is not Real-Time • Poor Visibility of Capacity • Difficult to Update Existing Schedules
Results of OLD WAY • Scheduling Performed Less Frequently (i.e. twice a week) • Tendency to Overload Schedules for Safety • Overloaded Schedules = Overloaded Material Requirements = $$$ Inventory
Solution • A production scheduling tool that • fits the environment • requires minimal ERP system knowledge • is easy-to-use • provides quick visibility to demand, supply and capacity changes • reduces production scheduling effort • supports accurate delivery date quotes
QAD Production Scheduler 1. Briefly scan each production line - red queues indicate issues. 2. Make adjustments with full demand, supply and capacity visibility. 3. Display can reflect orders just entered if synchronization is set.
Process Overview Step 1 Latest supply and demand information imported from MFG/PRO. • Inventory on-hand • Projected on-hand • Production reported • Demand visibility • Supply visibility • Capacity visibility • Alternate Resources • Detail MRP pegging (one level) Step 2 • Each resource will display visual indicators • Make appropriate schedule adjustments. Step 3 Export Schedule to MFG/PRO (initiated by user) Step 4 (optional) Net change MRP to cycle through lower level planning.
