Why Every Angle for Production Planning
|
Production planners are among the most enthusiastic power users of the Every Angle system. Why? Because they need a wide variety of operational information in a fast and flexible way to do their job. And Every Angle is exactly providing them what they need, better and faster as they are used when using SAP. Production planners need information about work orders, reservations, components, stock levels, expected deliveries, expected demand, possible delays and of course the impact of their planning to customer promises. To optimize this complex network, in most situations an ERP system with an MRP run is just not enough. It’s either too difficult to combine this information or it takes too much time to collect the right data. So, production planners appear to spend a lot of time executing downloads from SAP and work with external calculation tools, mostly Excel. |

Improved customer service level, Faster response to deviations in your planning
Every Angle recalculates the whole network of orders every day. So, any change in the plan or deviation from the plan will be analyzed throughout the supply chain. Most of the small changes are presumably of no importance, and Every Angle will not bother you, but some of them might be very important, jeopardizing the service level to an important customer. About these, Every Angle will warn you and immediately give you all the necessary details so you can take the right responsive action straight away.

Better, faster overview of the planning situations and bottlenecks Every Angle can provide you with any overview of your planning situation that you want. It can be a list of work orders with columns that indicate what components are on stock and which not, the possible delay of an order, a bottleneck I(like ‘delay supplier’) and many more. But it can also be a matrix or some kind of chart.
