Manufacturing Systems Improvements

At Daniel Penn Associates, we address the effective planning of all resources and the execution of systems that drive inventories, operating costs and customer service. To accomplish this, we evaluate the linkages between the activities of business planning, sales and operations planning, production planning, master production scheduling, materials requirements planning, capacity requirements planning, and the execution support systems for capacity and material control. We ensure that the output from these systems is integrated with financial reports, such as the business plan, purchase commitment report, shipping budget, and inventory projections. Our scope also includes evaluating the execution of the ERP/MRP II software systems and accuracy of the database, system drivers, and effective use of the output reports/screens. In addition, we analyze all systems transactions and ancillary systems on spreadsheets and manual documents.
