Distributed and Remote Planning

Benefits:

• Powerful collaboration with multiple sites, suppliers and customers, even in remote locations
• Send orders, schedules, critical path priorities and changes automatically and receive electronic progress updates
• Minimal communications requirements
• Eliminates manual work for improved speed of response and reduced risk of errors

FastReact supports central planning or planning at several separate locations. In a group environment, the initial high level planning and capacity management may be a central function, but with detailed planning then taking place at each remote site.

Whatever the required planning structure, FastReact includes the flexibility to cope with this, yet also provides 'total visibility' of all orders and their latest progress.

Central plans can be communicated easily to remote sites and subcontractors and electronic updates received.

FastReact Collaborative Planning

 

Taking this same concept a stage further, FastReact Collaborative Planning allows entirely separate FastReact systems to communicate with each other electronically to pass information between customer and supplier and vice-versa. This may be new orders and progress information between end customer and Tier 1 (finished product) suppliers or between Tier 1 and Tier 2 (material suppliers) etc.

This exciting concept can dramatically speed up the availability and exchange of information to facilitate increased speed of response and shorter lead times.
