PQMplanning
Production planning
The PQMplanning module is optional within the PQM system. The PQMmaster and PQMviewer modules are essential for the operation of the system.
This module gives a global vision of manufacturing and this helps to make important decisions that help to manufacture correctly.
This is why this module is interesting to include in the system.
Global vision of manufacturing
• The global vision of the entire manufacturing is available.
• You can see the manufacturing program of each section prioritized by date.
• It is possible to observe the load and capacity of each section and detect in advance the bottlenecks of the process.
• Different outsourcing scenarios can be simulated to determine if you are interested in outsourcing, what to outsource and when to do it.
• The outsourced phases can be effectively monitored, facilitating claims.
• It allows the client to be informed of the status of their orders automatically, via web.
Help to make decisions
• It allows to calculate the load vs. capacity of each section.
• You can decide whether to make in-house or outsource to meet the delivery date. Scenarios can be simulated.
• The load of a subcontractor can be calculated so that the work can be spread without overloading any subcontractors.
• It can be determined in advance until when you have work in a section. Can be used to intensify business work for future periods of foreseeable low activity.
• Holidays, shifts, overtime, subcontractors, etc. can be ordered by acting well in advance.
• Valid information can be obtained to plan future investments.
