Experience increased order fulfillment, more controlled inventory levels, and greater customer satisfaction with MaxQ’s Supply Chain Planning module. It is designed to facilitate the planning and execution of all inventory, purchasing, manufacturing, and site transfer needs under a single facility. It manages sales/forecasts and multi-level dependent demand requirements from kits, BOMs, or site transfers according to a time-phased basis, with easy or automatic transaction entries. Simply put, it tells you what inventory to make, buy, or transfer and when to do it.
Supply Chain Planning for Projects
Our Supply Chain Planning module integrates with the Microsoft Dynamics SL Project modules; perfect for businesses with Engineer-to-Order processes or companies that need to manage inventory.
- Enter Inventory items that need to be planned by Project and Task
- Project items entered are treated as demand items and can take advantage of powerful replenishment capabilities like Purchase Order Creation and Buyers Workbench
- Items that are issued to a project via an Inventory Issues transaction will automatically update quantities used and the balance of the associated Project task
