Whether you are a Manufacturer, or simply a project-based service business where getting lots of small projects completed on time is how you earn your living, a flexible project planning tool may be the critical factor to your success and profitability.
Most manufacturing companies of course fall directly into this category. Getting jobs or production batches out on time is key to your success. Knowing what to produce, how much and when, and then managing that schedule including raw materials supply (just) in time and labour to fulfil smooth production is the whole game.
Counting the dead after the battle is over is of course the usual accounting function, but your business probably needs key tools to wage the actual battle up front! :)
This is where MoreMX comes in. A predictive, finite capacity based scheduling tool to ensure you always stay on top of what you need to get done, who's doing it with realtime monitoring of whether they still have a reasonable chance of getting it done on time. When you're running a commercial operation, the number of individual tasks you need to manage at once can become truly overwhelming. That's why an auto-smoothing scheduling system can assist, even by just sheer visibility of what needs to be done.. something that's loaded automatically from your salesorder ledger so that you simply dont forget anything.
Failing to plan = planning to fail. You can't afford to be flying blind. In any commercial situation, if you simply write down a list of all the tasks you need to get done within a foreseeable timeframe, and then allocate budgeted hours to those, you will probably scare yourself! Often, it doesn't bear thinking about, you are simply overloaded and the best you can do is keep your head down and prioritise on the fly hoping it will sort itself out as it unravels. Now multiply that by fifty employees and base your entire profitability on the outcomes.. and this is the typical chaos that Service companies find themselves in. Wouldn't it be nice to have a tool to organise all these uncertainties into one, coherent, collaborative picture?
