Key Challenges

  • Maximize the use of all material to be transformed into profitable goods

  • Optimize cash spend around inventory purchasing and related expenses like personnel, real estate, and equipment

  • Ensure planning and allocation is properly aligned with sales forecasts and orders

  • Maintain traceability to meet customer and regulatory expectations

Capabilities

  • Inventory control and status:
  • Specify control levels for each item (and site, if desired) such as lot-optional, lot required, or serial number required. Inventory statuses can be applied at most granular level and across each transaction type, building protection into every movement.
  • Package management and barcoding:
  • Define packaging types, structures, and associations, streamlining the packaging process and ensuring material handlers know exactly what each pallet contains. QAD Automation Solutions provides seamless label printing and barcode scanning for peak efficiency.

  • Traceability:
  • Enable root cause analysis (RCA) with forward and backward traceability, allowing users to quickly identify and address quality issues or customer complaints by tracing inventory through every process, from supplier to customer.
  • Attributes and Quality:
  • Flexibly extend item and inventory attributes for enhanced quality, sustainability and traceability. Generate Certificate of Analysis reports that give your customers confidence in your ability to support their supply chain visibility goals.
