PFM - Real-Time ERP Scheduling
PROTECTED FLOW MANUFACTURING™ (PFM) is Production Execution and Planning that replaces your manual whiteboards, spreadsheets, or Advanced Planning and Scheduling tools in your ERP. PFM combines three LEAN/TOC concepts to provide real-time, dynamic priorities that minimize wait-times, decrease WIP, and speed the rate of flow of materials and jobs through the shop. PFM dramatically improves on-time delivery, reduces lead-times and improves customer service levels and overall company throughput performance.
