Planning and Scheduling

EnterpriseIQ Advanced Planning and Scheduling modules are an essential element in an optimized supply chain performance.

EnterpriseIQ scheduling and planning modules go beyond just scheduling. The powerful and flexible system is updated in real time from events occurring throughout the supply chain as well as within the system. It incorporates all requirements and objectives defined in the plan together with transactions entered externally through the Internet, and internally through any of the integrated EnterpriseIQ modules. This information is analyzed to determine the optimal schedule that meets customer demands as well as business objectives. Bringing organizations:

• Demand Driven, On-time delivery
• Accurate and timely planning
• Optimized use of available resources
• Reduced cycle times
• Minimize inventory costs
• Maximized plant floor throughput

Capable to Promise -- A powerful "what" if capability encompasses the entire production process to determine availability of required raw materials, purchased parts, manufacturing time and more required to complete the required order.

Forecasting and Planning -- Real-time integration with order entry and sales modules allows for collaborative forecasting based on real-time data from throughout the enterprise.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) -- The EnterpriseIQ MRP II engine accurately and effectively manages all resources necessary to meet manufacturing demand, while maintaining lean inventory levels. It includes items manufactured internally, through third party vendors, as well as sub-assemblies.

Master Production Schedule (MPS) -- Defines all resources and costs required to meet the manufacturing demand (forecast, sales order, and dependent), current work orders (firm, generated, manual) and projected on hand balances (availability), converting the data to a production plan.

Optimized Scheduling System -- The flexible scheduling module executes the plans and allows realtime adjustments to allow for unplanned events while ensuring optimal throughput through the enterprise.

With IQMS Planning and Scheduling modules, you can now easily maintain customer satisfaction while ensuring conformance to plans and profitability across the enterprise.
