Protected Flow Manufacturing (PFM) is an approach to Production execution, planning and materials that is simpler and easier to understand than MRP and finite schedulers. PFM's Execution toolset addresses the real-life challenges manufacturers face and reflects the realities of actual operations, whether you are operating in the mode of make-to-stock, make-to-order or somewhere in between.
PFM is “better” because it respects the reality that job priorities change over time, including the ripple effect to upstream and downstream operations. PFM's Planning toolset reflects what is likely to occur in the future when workers perform according to the priorities that it calculates for them, while also acknowledging limited capacity resources. And PFM enhances the material plan with a production schedule that can be trusted and executed simply by following the rules.
If you are a discrete manufacturer struggling with gaining agreement shop-wide on what to work on next and you are interested in improving your company's delivery performance, let us show you why Protected Flow Manufacturing is the right choice to start getting real results, fast.
PFM integrates seamlessly with MYOB receiving real-time push notifications when information has been adjusted in your ERP, allowing PFM's Production Management Suite to automatically stay up to speed with your business. PFM also allows for the automatic transformation or augmentation of the information coming over from MYOB which helps to facilitate a more complete picture of production activities, helping to increase a manufacturer's understanding of both their current and future reality.
For more advanced implementations PFM can optionally be configured to send targeted data back to MYOB bringing the information full cycle. PFM's Production Management Suite gives MYOB manufacturing businesses the increased visibility and control of their production process critical to succeed in today's ever-changing marketplace.
