Prior Process
Prior Process for MRP
Prior Process
• Excel-based, only using QAD as an input• Macro / VB driven• Many customized reports• Maintained by one individual• Burden to their system/network
Prior Process – Seasonal Tracker
Prior Process – Detailed Schedule
Prior Process – Component Sched
Prior Process – WO Reconciling
Why transition?
Why Transition?
Why transition?
• Excel process not supported• Cannot be upgraded easily• Corporate IT support near impossible• “Custom” to the plant and scheduler
• Standard of work• Community of users• Training available• Support within the company• Maintain QAD – value added
• More efficient• Workbench supported by IT, QAD• Regular patches and updates released• Less burden on the planners and systems

MSW/PSW versus Outside Vendor
Item MSW/PSW Outside Solution
Software/Implementation Already in QAD $100K+ per site plus yearly fees
Hardware cost Not needed Dedicated server needed per site
Training QAD/Logan/Two other plants Provider-based
Delivery time 3 months 6+ months
Complexity Integrated within QAD Programming Logic – complex setup – must bridge with QAD
Scheduling Create & Optimize within MSW/PSW. Manages schedule exceptions.
Still requires up-front work orders. Schedule optimizer.
Utilization Any plant as needed “One off” for Ogden – other plants lack the needed complexity
