Materials to support production
Discover a material shortage before it stops the line.
Proposal to explore
Who it is for: Production directors and procurement leaders.
The work to address
The production plan exists, but materials are late, stock is reserved for another order and only a few staff know the permitted substitutes.
Inputs
Production plans, approved consumption standards, inventory, reservations, confirmed deliveries and permitted substitutes.
Expected outcome
Specific threats to production and actions to resolve them.
How the process could work
A proposed workflow. We validate actions, connections and permissions against your data before launch.
Calculate requirements
Recalculate material needs from approved standards when the plan changes. Match available inventory, reservations and confirmed deliveries.
Prepare actions
Identify shortages by date and order. Prepare options to expedite supply, transfer stock, use a permitted substitute or change production sequence.
What to verify before launch
The human decision
New purchasing obligations, material substitutions and priority changes.
What to verify before launch
Start with one production area and a limited material range. Validate standards, stock accuracy and reservations.
Solution boundaries
Calculations rely on approved standards and recorded reservations. An unconfirmed delivery is not guaranteed stock.
How to assess results
Shortage warning lead time, material-related downtime and urgent purchases.
Connecting departments
Connect the production plan, procurement work and warehouse availability.
What our engineer configures
We start with a limited area. Our engineer configures BusinessOS around your rules, connects the necessary systems and stays to support and develop the solution.
Catalogues, standards, reservation rules, approved substitutes and accounting integrations.
