Almost every MFG / distribution company faces challenges to determine the dates to promise products to their customers. Since it is very expensive to pay for additional storage for finish good (FG) inventory, most companies need to accurately estimate the lead times in order to procure raw materials, manufacture FG products, as well as transfer them to their distribution centers in order to ship and/or deliver them to their customers when necessary.

There are numerous configuration options available in JD Edwards which can impact when FG products will be available to distribute to customers, but which are important for your business? As well, once identified, how should they be configured? Overall, how can I correctly design my supply chain modules in JDE in order to be as efficient as possible with my supply chain processes, without impacting my promise dates to my customers?

Join us as we discuss some of the key MFG and distribution functionality available within JD Edwards related to the supply chain planning and execution processes which can play a role in the dates that FG inventory will be available to ship and/or delivery to customers.

Case study demonstration / review of the custom applications created to replace traditional scanning software. Trisha Muir, Michelman Director of ERP long realized status quo batch work order processing had to be improved. One primary reason was the need to improve visibility to the necessary PPE, hazards and process instructions before starting to manufacture a batch and capturing the acknowledgement from the operator. Michelman was able to add validations within the process to minimize waste, improve safety metrics, and reduce off-spec batches resulting in cost savings. Sustainability is one of Michelman’s core values; digitizing the paper work order helps them to achieve their goal of reducing the use of paper globally.

Functionality includes full Work Order Edit of: Parts List, Process Instructions & Quality Tests with improved automation of Machine/Labor hours and Quality test data. Other functional elements include Audit, Inventory Look-up, Inventory Transfer, enhanced Media Object Integration and the ability to store “Comments” and “Versioning” of Media Object revisions.

Demo review will show User Role setup/permissions for Chemists, Quality, Operators, and Supervisor with dashboards associated to each role. Trisha will also review Michelman business case.

Firm or planned demand requirements enable you to receive, interpret, or validate, net order information for shipments, and to automatically communicate shipment details to the supplier or customer. The system interprets and receives information using EDI documents that are transmitted from customers to suppliers, and then populates the appropriate demand scheduling tables to create records within sales orders, and forecasts. Forecasted schedules are transmitted from the manufacturer or distributor to the supplier to cover a future period and are formatted as a series of year-to-date cumulative totals. You can use this information for forecasting and planning when ordering parts and materials in high volume supply chains
