QAD Production Execution

Manufacturers need more than binders and spreadsheets to:

  • Improve production efficiency for happier customers and lower manufacturing costs
  • Enable high quality on the first pass, every time
  • Provide management with visibility and control to prevent solvable problems from escalating
  • Guarantee traceability and compliance for confidence in audits and protection against widespread recalls

Key Challenges

  • Focus - You invest in equipment and operators to add value to products but at some point they need to tell you about their progress. Finding the balance between making and marking is harder than it seems.

  • Real-time Visibility - Shipping can’t create documentation for product that isn’t reported, and maintenance can’t repair equipment if they don’t know it is down. Delays in information awareness can cause significant financial loss.

  • Cooperation - Production requires activity from back-office schedulers, warehouse handlers and shop floor operators. An issue in one area disrupts all, so close alignment is required to keep the right parts moving to the right place at the right time.

  • Data Validity - Are you sure that six isn’t the letter o? Are your material handlers confident in the inventory printout, or do they look at a picklist and walk to where they last saw those parts?

Capabilities

  • Designed for the Floor
  • Touch-friendly with large icons so operators can stop being distracted by flipping through papers or navigating an application made for office workers, and start receiving information that helps them do their jobs faster
  • Collaborative
  • Schedulers and supervisors can see real-time progress and operators can request assistance, with no need for unclear intercoms or wasteful trips away from the main workstation.

  • Contextual
  • Give operators all the information they need to produce the specific order in queue without relying on “the binder” or a convoluted fileshare
  • Seamlessly Extended
  • Preconfigured to work alongside QAD Manufacturing for unified order management, inventory handling, barcode scanning and printing, document control, training checks, and more without needing third-party integrations
