Why Convince Production Planning?

It is a common practice that priorities for merchandisers change as production plans change, but unfortunately pre production staffs are too often unaware what is actual happening on the shop floor resulting in poor re-planning and shuffling of newer orders.

Convince ERP automatically updates pre-production priorities and critical tasks based on the current production plan, and automatically adjusts planned production based on the actual information from the factory floor, giving you updated production finish times, and rescheduling subsequent production runs without requiring user input.

Dynamically updated planning boards always reflect the current situation including slippage with orders automatically rescheduled and color coded to indicate early, on-time or late completion and Drag-and-drop planning board allows all problems to be seen on one screen and re-planning is as simple as moving orders with the mouse.
