Lean Tools - Consolidated Planning & Pick

Consolidated Planning allows you to look at the next day's or week's requirements by a specific product family or manufacturing line. Review shortages for specifictypes of parts, and launch the POs as you approve and release your manufacturing orders. Then email the POs to your suppliers and attach a PO form as well as the Lean Vouchering spreadsheet. When it is time to pick the order for the next day's schedule, print a consolidated pick list to streamline stockroom activities, and once picked, issue all of the items to the appropriate orders.
