QAD Proprietary Agenda  MFG/SC - Key Strategic Initiative  Master Scheduling Objective & Challenges  Workbench Framework Introduction  Roadmap  Master Scheduling Futures  Demo  Early Adopter Program  Wrap Up

QAD Proprietary Key Strategic Initiative Provide a workbench for each key role in the Manufacturing and Supply Chain areas

QAD Proprietary Master Scheduler’s Objective  Establish an item’s most optimum build schedule that meets customer demand – Measurements : Improved Customer Service – On time deliveries – Reduced back orders Reduced Inventories – Inventory turns – Reduced inventory investment Stable Manufacturing Schedule – Increased production efficiency – Reduced set up costs/time – Reduced overtime costs

QAD Proprietary Master Scheduler’s Challenge Finance Engineering Executives Manufacturing Sales There’s too much cash tied up in inventory! There’s a new product introduction scheduled for the fall! But we need more time for design! Service levels are down. I need more inventory! Whatever it takes to keep the customer happy! ROI must improve; the stockholders are not happy! There are too many changes! Provide fixed schedules and the correct parts and delivery will improve.

QAD Proprietary Framework Introduction Master Scheduling (MSW) Scheduling view designed for the purpose of master scheduling

QAD Proprietary Framework Introduction Production Scheduling (PSW) Scheduling view designed for the purpose of production scheduling

QAD Proprietary Framework Introduction Search Panel extracts content for both workbench views Navigator Panel drives content focus of both workbench views Supporting Frames apply seamlessly to both workbench views

MSW: Primary Grid-Set Introduction

QAD Proprietary Schedule Primary context of the workbench. All workbench activity and navigational behavior is driven from this panel Capacity Displays information per selected resource/item in the Schedule Grid Supply/Demand Provides demand & supply context for selected item in the Schedule Grid. Primary information used for scheduling decision making and adjustments

QAD Proprietary User selects the item row in Schedule Grid. Supporting Panels Enables master scheduling action and decision making. Represents over 30 maintenance programs and reports!

MSW: Views Create customized workbench layouts

QAD Proprietary Views Provides ability to create different user defined workbench layouts and save them for quick access Saves Panel Size Saves Filter/Sort/Group Settings of each Panel

QAD Proprietary Example: Created View with Master Scheduling (MSW) and Production Scheduling (PSW) side-by-side
