1. Deliver on Time
Have any of your customers ever praised you for delivering their products late? Of course not. Finite scheduling helps you meticulously plan for all aspects of producing and shipping product on time.
It takes a lot of the manual scheduling work off your hands, calculates risk and identifies potential bottlenecks, all of which help you get orders into customer hands faster.
2. Reduce WIP
Reducing your WIP helps you visualize your capacity better, eliminate “starve” downtime and coordinate material management more effectively.
Many times, reducing WIP isn’t as easy as looking at your production line and making a simple change. Getting everything to sync up correctly can be incredibly hard. Finite scheduling in Epicor ERP can do this for you.
3. Free Up Capital
Even when you have healthy asset management, you might find it difficult to free up capital for other important uses. With finite scheduling, you can have both.
When shipping and asset management go hand in hand, you’ll find that your customers pay on time. This then frees up working capital.
4. Gain More Trust from Customers
As you deliver more orders early or on time, you’ll start to gain more trust from your customers. Finite scheduling helps you deliver on-time orders more regularly, which earns you more return business.
