Date & Time
Thursday, May 8, 2025, 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM
Description

In today’s dynamic manufacturing environment, timely and accurate lead time calculations are essential for meeting customer demands and maintaining efficient production workflows. Join this session to hear Michael Walmsley from Zero-Max, Inc. explain how the 'Can We Make It?' (CWMI) dashboard is a powerful solution that addresses this need by determining the earliest possible delivery date for any specified part number and quantity. In this session, you'll learn how, by analyzing on-hand balances, open orders, shop capacity and throughput, and both manufacturing and sales demand, CWMI highlights potential shortages across all levels of the Bill of Materials (BOM) and applies the appropriate lead times based on a critical-path methodology. This ensures that the dashboard identifies the single longest stretch in the production chain, providing a truly accurate assessment of how soon the requested items can be delivered.
