Preactor for QAD: Advanced Planning and Scheduling for use with QAD Enterprise Applications

Struggling to keep inventories down while maintaining high customer service levels? Would you like to:

  • Reduce your inventory and work in process?
  • Increase your efficiency of production?
  • Increase your on-time delivery performance?
  • Reduce your scheduling time?

Watch this webinar to learn about Preactor for QAD, the advanced planning and scheduling (APS) solution. Hear how one customer, Oberto, has kept inventory levels down while improving customer service. Learn how you can improve management of your shop floor to uncover capacity, maximize value-added time for production equipment, and reduce scheduling overhead.

Demand driven manufacturing is now the norm. It’s challenging to maintain control of the shop floor when shifts in customer demand mean product lifetimes are shorter than ever. Advanced planning and scheduling is needed to predict conflicts before they occur, and manage those conflicts effectively. Preactor has a global track record of meeting the challenges of demand driven manufacturing. In this webinar we will review today’s challenges for manufacturers, why APS is an essential part of the enterprise solution, the value of APS, and some of the successes within the QAD customer base using Preactor.
