We’ve got a busy Spring 2024 season of events. We hope you can join us as we bring you webinars and presentations.
We’ll have a booth at the Midwest User Group Spring Conference in Milwaukee in April, and we’ll also be presenting at the conference. Plus, we have a great learning line-up of Spring webinars for you, including a webinar Don Lindsey will be presenting as part of the West Coast User Group’s Spring webinar series.
Here’s the line-up:
On-Demand Webinar: A Powerful ERP-Independent Production Scheduler
Available April 17, and 18
A perfect production plan keeps orders running smoothly through your process, keeps overhead in line, eliminates waste, and keeps customers happy and coming back. If any sites within your organization don’t have an ERP system or are using spreadsheets for planning production, this on-demand webinar is a must. We’ll demonstrate how our stand-alone Production Planner helps you use your resources wisely to build completely achievable plans. Our Production Planner gives you the confidence and knowledge of what materials you have on hand, what you need, and when you need them. You can run multiple what-if scenarios to check capacity and material shortages, labor force projections, and machine or tooling conflicts.
Midwest User Group Spring Conference
April 21-23, Hyatt Milwaukee
In April, we hope to see you at the Midwest User Group Spring Conference in Milwaukee. We’ll have a booth there, so please stop by to visit. Plus, Don Lindsey will be joined by Khoa To of Systemized Partners to present Factory Physics in Practice on Monday, April 22, at 11:30 am. Factory Physics uses science and mathematics to help managers understand the principles of their manufacturing system and the relationships between cycle time, WIP, and the flow of their company’s production. Understanding these relationships and principles allows managers to design more efficient and effective systems. Don and Khoa give a broad understanding of how Factory Physics can help drive innovation, improve profitability and sustainability goals, achieve better results with less cost, and improve customer service levels.

Webinar: Factory Physics in Practice
June 19, 1 pm EDT
Don Lindsey, 32 Soft and Khoa To, Systemized Partners will repeat their Factory Physics in Practice presentation from MWUG’s Spring Conference in webinar form for those who couldn’t attend the conference. They will give you a broad understanding of how factory physics can help you drive innovation, improve profitability and sustainability goals, achieve better results with less cost, and improve customer service levels.
Don will introduce the concepts of factory physics and outline their relationship to QAD’s ERP system. Khoa will demonstrate a program implemented at other companies that make use of Factory Physics concepts.
Webinar: Making Cost Sets Make $en$e
July 24, 1 pm EDT
Manufacturing Managers, Manufacturing Supervisors, Supply Chain Managers, and Planners spend a lot of time understanding their ERP systems in terms of numbers, items, run time, capacity, and schedules. But, one thing’s for sure: to communicate with managers and supervisors, specifically financial and senior management, everything we do must be translated into the “language of money.”
Cost sets—such as raw materials, direct labor, indirect expenses, and overhead—play a crucial role in stakeholders’ understanding of the company’s overall financial performance.
In this webinar, Don Lindsey will introduce the concept of Cost Sets, Cost Simulation, Cost Plans, and Cost Elements and how they are used to translate operating processes into the “language of money.”
