QAD JIT’s
QAD JIT Sequencing allows global manufacturers to synchronize plant operations with the OEM's line sequenced demand in order to process and schedule activities in real time. Through dynamic processing of broadcast messages from the OEM, attributes such as sequence number, vehicle identification number and engineering revision levels are identified and directly linked to production. Suppliers can react to line sequence changes in real time, make necessary production changes and communicate them down the supply chain immediately.
When integrated with QAD MFG/PRO, the JIT module affords global manufacturers even greater control over manufacturing processes and inventory, hence to manage costs and profit margins.
Key performance indicators:
Sequenced production and operations: QAD JIT Sequencing can schedule production of intermediate and final assemblies. It can also support make-to-order, assemble-to-order make-in-line sequence, supply-in-line sequence and assemble-in-line sequence and make-to-replace production models.
Inventory picking and replenishment: Real-time processing for make- or assemble-to-line sequence pulls inventory into production, with support for the direct staging of configured components as line-side inventory
Packaging for sequenced delivery: Support for sequenced packaging and user-defined packing configuration to streamline shipping, and are validated in error-proofing procedures
Sequenced shipping and execution: Multiple broadcasts from a single OEM assembly line can be processed and used to trigger pre-assembly production and/or shipping activities.
Business Benefits
JIT sequencing gives manufactures the benefits of visibility of demand and the ability to align both the sequence of production without need for extra inventory which gives of operation advantage to the organization
JIT identifies seven prominent types of waste to be eliminated:
