Planning

In addition to production planning tools and reports that come standard with the Frogfish ApparelIT suite, we also offer a more sophisticated JAVA-based planning, scheduling and plant loading application that is a "must" for every busy production-oriented organization. Whether you manufacture domestically or overseas, manage your production through contractors, or use a combination of approaches, this configurable application provides you with complete visibility of everything that is going on within your extended enterprise. The software is designed to provide total control over your scheduling process, considering all of the complexities of your business including capacities, resource and raw material availability, lead times, shipping and delivery variations, customer demand, forecasts, efficiencies and much more, all in one place. This relevant and critical information is delivered to the user in a neatly structured, yet flexible format. Easy "drag-and-drop" features enable planners to work with different scenarios, while dialog boxes present various system "responses" as they complete their schedules and loads, allowing for faster, more informed decisions and a more agile sourcing and manufacturing process.
