Scope, LLC is the designer and developer of
a manufacturing software product (OSP) that is designed to aid manufacturers in the strategic
planning process. The software provides management with the means to
examine various strategic scenarios for profitability and productivity
concerning
the acceptance of orders and forecasts and scheduling of production
facilities, and thereby determine optimum selling and production plans. These plans are generated
from strategic objectives set by management and use marketing
constraints on customer demand and manufacturing constraints on available
resources. This can address such concerns as:
"Before accepting and scheduling orders and forecasts are we sure
our
manufacturing resources are adequate for production and delivery in the promised planning periods? "
"Does our scheduling policy assure that we are scheduling
our products on the right machines at each stage in the
manufacturing chain for optimum
productivity and throughput?"
"Before
making sales commitments and scheduling production do we know if our
acceptance and scheduling policy gives us the product mix for optimum
profitability and productivity within our sales and production capability?"
This OSP software was developed and plant-tested through
manufacturing research projects over many years in an effort to provide
marketing and manufacturing management with a common source of information and
means to address these and similar strategic planning concerns. A computer database model of the customer demand and manufacturing
supply chain was designed as the basis, starting with the purchase of raw materials and going through the
manufacturing stages to the customer demand for the end products.
The OSP product is ideal for
software developers, consultants, and manufacturers interested in
providing these strategic planning capabilities to supplement
their MRP, ERP, and SCM scheduling and planning software.
