The enhancements are part of JDA Manufacturing Planning version 9.0, released earlier this year. The tool, which synchronizes factory schedules with the rest of the supply chain, helps to balance operations goals and customer-service objectives across multiple industry sectors, including food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, consumer durables, industrial, chemical and pharmaceuticals. As conditions change, JDA Manufacturing Planning ensures that core objectives, such as on-time delivery and resource utilization, are optimized, providing a basis for decision-making.
