7 Ways Manufacturing Scheduling Software Helps Sage 100 ERP Customers

Manufacturing scheduling software is becoming more and more critical as the demand on manufacturing production and delivery continue to rise. Advanced Finite Graphical Production scheduling for Sage 100 ERP customers is avialable from JobPack. If you are a Sage 100 ERP customer and your business is a job-shop with make to order requirements, a plastic injection molding company, an automotive supplier, or an aerospace manufacturing company, these are a few of the major types of businesses we serve. Here are the 7 top reasons our Sage 100 ERP customers turn to our manufacturing scheduling solution.

7 Ways Manufacturing Scheduling Software Helps Sage 100 ERP Customers 

1. Integrate all aspects of production operation – seamlessly. 
2. Accommodate multiple scheduling "what if" scenarios.
3. Generate real-time production schedules to provide you the visibility of bottle necks and late jobs – before they are late! 
4. Provide valuable insights into your production scheduling with advanced reporting. 
5. Empower you to more accurately cost and estimate projects. 
6. Improve your workflow through graphical work queues, machine efficiency reports, and data collection. 
7. Keep "green" with paperless manufacturing, document access and control with ISO quality and traceability from the raw materials to the finished goods.

Our Manufacturing Scheduling Software has 3 Modules:

1. Scheduling: Scheduling is key to efficient operations. With JobPack Production Scheduling software you can identify bottlenecks and react in real-time to unexpected production problems. You'll know what job to run next, when to promise the customer’s order, and what machines can get it done the fastest.
2. Production Planning: Every successful on-time delivery begins with organized planning to ensure everything runs like clockwork. Utilizing your Sage 100 ERP you can optimize production capabilities while achieving realistic delivery dates to keep customer satisfaction humming right along.
3. Machine and Work Order Monitoring: Real Time Status and instant notifications keep managers aware of non-production events to maintain and improve efficiency. Instant OEE reports are available on demand to provide detailed analysis and performance metrics.

For companies who have an existing or legacy Sage 100 ERP system, JobPack manufacturing scheduling software adds finite graphical scheduling functionality via our Enterprise Application Integrator (EAI). EAI for Sage 100 ERP is a proprietary database mapping tool specifically designed and configured to take data from Sage 100 ERP; massage and format the data, if required, and populate the JobPack scheduler SQL database. This is an “out of the box” integration solution that can be further customized and refined by JobPack to suite the individual, specific requirements of incumbent Sage 100 ERP systems.

With the ability to take action on data, and transfer it on a timed or frequency basis, existing data is “re-used” and duplication of effort eliminated in populating JobPack.

EAI works both ways for upstream and downstream data transfer. Data collected by, and formulated within the JobPack scheduler, such as actual run times, quantities and real delivery dates based on finite capacity, can be uploaded to Sage 100 ERP, taking into account the specific business rules set by the user, providing a completely integrated end to end manufacturing solution.
