Solution · On-time delivery

Promise a date — and keep it

Sales accept orders without seeing capacity, the schedule is ready but materials are not, production finishes and the warehouse is still searching — that is how due dates slip. With ERP, APS, MES and WMS on the same data, every step from order to shipment connects.

Sound familiar?

The problems usually sit between departments

  • Due dates are guesswork

    Orders are accepted without visibility of capacity and materials, so promised dates are often missed.

  • Plans cannot keep up

    Rush orders, shortages and breakdowns force the schedule to be rebuilt from scratch.

  • Progress means phone calls

    Finding out where an order stands means calling production and the warehouse.

  • Shortages found at start-up

    Materials are incomplete and the line stops to wait.

How it connects

Order intake → Shipment, in one continuous flow

  1. 01 · ERP

    Order intake

    Enter the sales order; APS simulates the schedule and gives a due date you can stand behind.

  2. 02 · APS

    Scheduling

    Build a plan the shop floor can execute within capacity, shift, tooling and material limits.

  3. 03 · WMS

    Material prep

    Check material readiness against the plan, turn gaps into purchasing and feed the line at production pace.

  4. 04 · MES

    Production

    Work orders go to the workstations, output is reported by scanning and progress flows back to planning.

  5. 05 · WMS · ERP

    Shipment

    Finished goods are received, picked and shipped, and the order status updates automatically.

All steps share the same data
  • Sales orders
  • Materials and BOMs
  • Capacity and shifts
  • Inventory and WIP

Results

What changes once the steps are connected

  • Dates you can promise

    Promises are based on real capacity and materials.

  • Changes absorbed

    Rush orders and disruptions get a new plan quickly.

  • Transparent progress

    Sales, planning and production see the same progress.

  • Lower inventory

    Materials are pulled by the plan instead of stocked "just in case".
