Enhancing BOMs and Quoting Accuracy

The Challenge:

• Difficulty in understanding true production costs at the quoting stage

• Managing flexible BOMs for bespoke and modular products

• Limited visibility into lead times and resource constraints

Our Solution:

• Using product configurators and parameter-driven BOMs

• Leveraging the “Set Estimated Dates” functionality to assess stock levels and resource availability

• Real-world examples of quoting improvements

Key Takeaways:

• Create flexible, responsive quotes

• Anticipate and communicate accurate lead times from the start

 

Improving Resource Allocation and Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC)

The Challenge:

• Lack of real-time visibility into resource and machine availability

• Uncertainty in lead times due to unexpected production issues or shortages

• Managing subcontract requirements and ensuring quality control

Our Solution:

• Using Equipment Management to dynamically update machine availability

• Planning with Calendar, Gantt, and Resource Views for the shop floor

• Live tracking of holidays and sick leave

• Sub-contracting POs built directly into BOMs for seamless management

• Ensuring embedded QC checks within production workflows

Key Takeaways:

• Confidently manage production schedules with real-time insights

• Proactively address bottlenecks and maintain quality standards

 

Building a Resilient Master Production Schedule (MPS)

The Challenge:

• Planning for long-term capacity while managing short-term disruptions

• Accounting for seasonality, machinery constraints, and market changes

• Moving from planning to action seamlessly

Our Solution:

• Using the Master Production Schedule to build realistic capacity plans

• Applying real-world constraints to reflect true operational capabilities

• Conducting “what-if” analysis with multiple planning scenarios

• Easily converting planned orders into executable manufacturing orders

Key Takeaways:

• Create proactive, resilient production plans

• Quickly adjust to seasonal changes and unexpected disruptions
