Too many companies struggle with their Production Order process. Not scheduled accurately, released too early, confirmed too late … this process impacts finance (inaccuracy of WIP, inventory …), production planning and ATP, leading to delivery delays.

But Why?

1. Why don’t we enter data in real time?
2. Why can only planners and production leads release or confirm Production Orders?
3. Why are we creating bottlenecks and unsynchronized data that will cause misleading information such as inaccurate inventory or planning…

The root cause is unfortunately obvious and sadly very well known : we don’t allow operators to enter data in real time, we forbid them access because we think SAP is too complicated; we renounce to give ownership and accountability to the ones who are the most able to provide the right information at the right time!

?

If it’s too complicated, make it simple!

For companies that did not make the choice of having a MES solution, we have created tools to monitor manufacturing execution activities.

With a simple screen, operators can in real time :

• Visualize the status of their activities (Green=Complete, Yellow=In Progress, Red=Late)
• Access all information they need such as components, instructions, drawings, tools
• Confirm their production
• Log quality issues (nonconformity) or maintenance notification

With this solution, we want to address complex issues every SAP PP customers is facing if they don't have MES. Within weeks, we can give more autonomy, visibility and ownership to operators, more time and monitoring capabilities to the production leads, more inventory accuracy and real time KPI to everyone.

Setting up companies for improved performance starts with providing simple, easy and efficient tools to users… all users!?
