In the Glass Manufacturing Industry, it is crucially important to reduce inventory costs and eliminate waste. Microsoft Dynamics NAV with Sysco’s expertise pulls inventory in optimal sequence using “best-before” management and first expired/first out (FEFO) or first in/first out (FIFO) picking guidance.

Configure-to-order, assemble-to-order, make-to-stock, and make-to-order. Use both push and pull production control mechanisms to control Glass Manufacturing output.

Let customers request multiple quality specifications per product while combining similar products in production to improve Glass Manufacturing machine utilisation.

Dual units of measure, catch-weight calculations, packaging codes, variations to the main item, and lots.

Plan simple, sequential, and complex networks; use simultaneous routes in the same network. Use rough-cut capacity and detailed scheduling capabilities. Organise the shop floor into logical production units at individual sites.

Quickly schedule/reschedule jobs and simulate alternatives by dragging Gantt chart items. Resolve scheduling overloads by reassigning operations to alternate work centres. Optimise scheduling across the organisation with a unified resource model and scheduling engine.
