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

QAD Proprietary Production Scheduler’s Objective  Establish a Production Schedule that Meets Requirements – Measurements : On Time Production Deliveries – Minimize order lateness Short Lead Times – Better Customer Responsiveness Minimal Work-In-Process – Reduced inventory investment – Improving quality Maximum Utilization of Resources – Machines – Materials – Manpower » Reduced set up costs/time

QAD Proprietary Production Scheduler’s Challenge Finance Engineering Materials Manufacturing Quality Work-In-Process inventory is too high and there seems to be excessive labor costs. Engineering Change Orders must be implemented smoothly to the shop floor. Are all production compliance issues and procedures being followed and met? Why are scrap costs rising? Do you have all the material to start production? Supplier “X” will be late with their order! There are too many last minute changes! Have you planned for machine downtimes? Will you meet production due dates? Five workers are out sick!
