Increase Your Manufacturing Efficiency with QAD’s Planning and Scheduling Workbenches
Gary Wasserman – Applications Specialist
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
Planning and Scheduling Trends
• Integration
• Visibility
• Automation
• Tool/Process standardization

Master Scheduling & Material Planning
Production Scheduling
Resource planning based on forecast & sales projections
Factoring materials, tools, personnel, machine setup times, defining job start
and completion times, job sequence.
Balancing supply/demand/capacity – defining job due dates

Master Scheduler’s Challenge

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.
Production Scheduler’s Challenge

High variances to “plan” (extra setup, downtime, labor), you need to optimize your production schedule.
You can’t change the schedule on short notice and expect the materials to be available.
Drops in a new high priority order due tomorrow, which order can be moved?
Labor / machine resources not available for 2nd shift – what are you going to do about this?
