Join our upcoming webinar, Planning: Precision in Practice, to find out how!
Wells Vehicle Electronics is a leading manufacturer of electronic modules and sensors vehicles. They operate on cloud-hosted QAD 2019 EE with over 1,100 users, managing a vast inventory of more than 1 million product structures across 10 sites.
Challenges in Production Planning
Wells releases 2,000+ production orders daily. Having outgrown their facilities, Wells had an off-site warehouse only 15 minutes away. However, the Finance Department required the warehouse to be managed as a separate site in QAD, which created logistical and system hurdles. Since QAD MSW/PSW could not support this scenario, the inventory from this warehouse was treated as an inter-site order, leading to uncertainty in their production schedules.
In this webinar, Aaron Krantz will outline the challenges Wells faced and how 32 Soft’s Production Planner was able to help them improve data visibility and management to transform their efficiency and productivity. Olena Stepovyk from 32 Soft will demonstrate how customer-driven requests have shaped the evolution of this dynamic Data Loader since it was introduced in 2010.
The Impact: Transforming Efficiency and Productivity
The results are clear. With Production Planner functionality working with QAD data, Wells was able to achieve:
- Reduced production order review time from 3 minutes to just 15 seconds.
- Faster purchase order release, cutting processing time per order from 8 minutes to 1 minute.
- Enhanced productivity, reducing the need for additional headcount and enabling faster turnaround for urgent orders.
- Better planning and visibility, with automatic component shortage analysis and streamlined operations across multiple sites.
This case study webinar is a must-attend event for manufacturers looking to optimize their production planning. You’ll gain exclusive insights from Wells Vehicle Electronics on their journey to efficiency and practical takeaways on how to streamline your own QAD production scheduling.
