What SAM Can Do for You
Forecast Planning and Scheduling Impacts
SAM monitors your production schedule, keeping a keen eye on impacts and delays before they can derail your delivery dates. Its goal is to help ensure jobs are delivered in full, on time (DIFOT) while minimising overtime costs. When it finds scheduling conflicts, it presents you with clear options and shows the impact of each choice on your timeline and capacity. Should you: Extend hours? Reschedule work to another machine or operator? Authorise overtime? SAM lays out the options with full impact analysis, so you can make an informed call.
Predict Inventory Shortages
SAM takes a unique approach to inventory management by analysing total material needs across your quotes and confirmed jobs. It compares forecast demand against current stock, spots shortfalls before they impact production, and alerts your procurement team to prevent material-related delays.
Instantly Escalate Safety, Quality, and NCR Issues
When safety violations, inspection failures, or quality issues arise, SAM immediately identifies and alerts the right people who need to be involved. No more issues getting lost in paperwork or sitting unnoticed while problems compound - the right team gets notified so they can resolve it quickly.
