Guest Post: Shopfloor Execution and Visual Production Scheduling

This blog is provided courtesy of Gunter Strickert, longtime ERP trainer as well as production planning and scheduling expert. This post introduces a fictional, but nonetheless typical, production company with its typical challenges concerning the communication between the shopfloor and the backoffice/ scheduler, resulting in the everyday trouble of meeting delivery deadlines.

The blog also outlines how these challenges can be mastered by using a Dynamics NAV manufacturing execution solution provided by the NETRONIC partner NAVEKSA,  which seamlessly integrates the NETRONIC Gantt chart add-in Visual Production Scheduler (VPS).
