My company, Software & Solutions Associates has several associates with over 10 years implementing BPCS and assisting companies like your to be more effective in using the BPCS modules. We are especially adept in the planning and inventory control areas of BPCS. Our expertise also extends to the execution cycle, with specific expertise in shop floor, JIT/Repetitive, Purchasing and data collections. We also have a product that monitors the execution cycle to give you early alerts of potential customer order shipment delays. OTTO is a system that allows you to see all the material and processing situations that may cause delays in shipments. It is designed to supplement the planning systems, but can also work in companies who do not have a formal planning system installed. It actually parses large shop orders and purchase orders to determine what quantity is required on a specific date to satisfy the production requirements for a specific customer order. Feel free to contact me off-line if you desire any additional information.

Most of our planning is done using Excel, and is relatively resource intensive. Our products are very simple (~8 components, single level bills), our sales order delivery times are short (typically same week), and our purchasing lead times are long (typically 8-10 weeks). We are (relatively) comfortable with our inventory levels and with our service levels. However, we want to improve . . . 1> the amount of effort necessary to plan the manufacturing and procurement 2> the dependance on a few key people in the planning and procurement process. 3> the transparency of the process - meaning the ability of other departments (and eventually customers and suppliers) to know what is happening when. We are wary of the canned planning modules because . . . - training is an issue due to our old BPCS, and we have no internal knowledge - the care and feeding of the system required to support standard MRP/DRP seems onerous - the effort required to implement Can any of you suggest places (software, support) we might look to help with this? Thanks in advance . . .
