One of the most rewarding things we hear from our clients has nothing to do with software features or technical specs. Instead, it is how they use our content—especially our webinars—as a practical resource within their own organizations.
Clients tell us they rely on our webinars for training and onboarding. Whether it is bringing new hires up to speed, reinforcing best practices, or aligning cross-functional teams, these sessions are becoming part of their internal training. That was not the original intent when we started hosting webinars, but it is a direction we are proud to support.
With that in mind, I want to highlight a webinar series that is particularly relevant for organizations evaluating or transitioning from Work Orders to Production Orders.
To help support that journey, we developed a focused Production Orders webinar series designed to guide teams through both the strategic and practical aspects of adoption.
A Comprehensive Review of Production Orders
Don Lindsey focuses on best practices for setting up Production Orders, exploring item setup for production lines and orders, allocations, pick lists, and backflush. He delves into product structure, routings, production order maintenance essentials for Production Orders, and stockroom and shop floor location setup.
Optimizing Production Order Processes
Discover how to optimize the Production Order process from start to finish with QAD’s Production Orders. In this webinar, Don Lindsey covers the entire cycle, from picking and reporting materials to issuing material and labor to final receipt into inventory. Learn how Production Orders help you manage each step effectively.
Production Orders Scheduling & Accounting Challenges
Discover the key challenges related to scheduling and accounting when using QAD’s Production Orders. In this webinar, Don explored these challenges, giving you the knowledge to improve efficiency and accuracy in your operations. Additionally, he explores several additional functions in QAD’s Production Orders.
In addition, we have a dedicated session that specifically addresses the transition itself—what changes, what to expect, and how to approach the move with confidence.
Moving from Work Orders to Production Orders
Olena Stepovyk walks us through the key differences between Work Orders and Production Orders, the setup areas that matter most, how Production Orders support mixed-mode manufacturing, and other challenges to consider.
What makes these webinars especially valuable ad training resources is that they are grounded in real-world application. We focus on how these concepts play out on the shop floor, in planning, and across your organization, not just in theory.
If your company is thinking about moving from Work Orders to Production Orders, I encourage you to share these sessions with your team. Use them as a starting point for discussion, a training resource, or a way to align your team before making the transition.
As always, our goal at 32 Soft is to do more than provide tools—we want to help you use them with confidence and clarity.
