Sales and operations planning (S&OP) is the mill's equivalent of an airport’s control tower. It’s where directions and priorities come from. It’s essential to sticking the landing—every time.
PMP WeSchedule™ (part of PMP TeamMate™) is the result of over 15 years working with more than 100 mills to flawlessly orchestrate sales and operations so that you can consistently deliver the right quality products at the right time to your customers.
Like everything we make, PMP WeSchedule is specifically designed for the unique needs of the wood transformation industry. With all the sawdust on our boots, we understand that mills don’t operate the same as other manufacturing installations.
Orders for certain products don’t always come in at regular intervals or consistent volumes. When they do come in, they always put a stress on operations. PMP WeSchedule offers the flexibility to quickly reorganize production planning and work orders in such a way that you don’t disrupt your entire value chain. Our software also allows you to accurately estimate sales order completion dates, which makes shipping much easier. All this enables the mill to dependably deliver on your sales promises and reduce such overhead as overtime.
Having a thorough understanding of what’s in inventory and production gives your sales team the agility to seize unexpected opportunities as they arise—without completely disrupting the entire production schedule. PMP WeSchedule is designed to help minimize the number of corrective actions necessary when you unexpectedly have to modify a production run, which also limits disruptions. The software eliminates most of the need for frequent adjustments to product planning by taking inventory and sales orders constraints into account, improving vertical communication within the mill and your ability to deliver on time.
Being able to turn on a dime affords you the flexibility to have a wider product offering, while maintaining a stellar sales record.
Having a self-contained overview of every step in your manufacturing process—over the time span that matters—gives every stakeholder in your business the necessary information to understand what’s in the pipe.
