Early Warning Alerts Prevent Expensive Remedies

Alarm
Enterprise planning systems optimistically assume events will occur and resources will be available as planned. In contrast, ForeSight recognizes that — in reality — many perfectly planned events won’t occur, while many unplanned events will occur. So ForeSight continuously compares customer order requirements against the status of required tasks and the availability of required material and labor resources, throughout the order lifecycle, so it can identify whenever conditions change that put any customer orders at risk.

ForeSight users get early warning of future problems, as soon as they can be detected. Instead of fixing problems at the last minute, there is time to institute remedies with minimal cost and disruption. Workers no longer have to navigate through planning system screens, page through reports, make phone and e-mail inquiries, key data into ad hoc solutions, and calculate requirements versus resource availability — running the risk of introducing errors along the way.

Actionable information is easy to find. ForeSight highlights what users need to know at their fingertips, in a user interface that easily can be personalized to meet each individual’s needs and preferences. The sample screen below illustrates how ForeSight calls attention to potential problems in readiness of component materials.
