WAM’s Grid interface is a comprehensive supply chain event monitor that serves as the core of the planning system. This highly graphical Grid console allow you to evaluate all aspects of your supply chain model, including inventory projections, order status, planned production and material movements across all of the products in your business.
The Grid analyzes all of the interactions between current inventory levels, orders, sales forecasts, purchases and production schedules to create a visual simulation of your supply chain inventory positions over a desired planning horizon. In addition, it highlights pending stock outs, expected late shipments, and inventory target violations which allow you to quickly address problem issues before they impact your operations. This comprehensive display enables planners to quickly evaluate enterprise-wide inventories and determine if customer commitments can be met.
