Materials Management for QAD Adaptive

Manufacturing Planning

QAD Adaptive includes fully integrated Master Production Scheduling (MPS) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) that support discrete, repetitive, and mixed manufacturing environments. It helps manufacturers translate demand signals into optimized production plans that balance capacity, materials, and delivery commitments.

Demand Management

QAD Adaptive uses historical data, real-time sales signals, and AI-driven forecasting to build and manage accurate demand plans, either collaboratively or individually, helping manufacturers respond quickly to changing market conditions.

Manufacturing Scheduling

A new web-based production scheduling tool replaces the legacy MSW/PSW (Scheduling Workbenches).

Visual and interactive scheduling tools make it easier for planners to adjust master schedules, balance workloads, and respond when disruptions occur. What-if scenario analysis and real-time feedback help teams make informed decisions that improve delivery performance and resource utilization.

Product & Engineering Data

QAD Adaptive manages critical product data, including part definitions, bills of materials (BOM), routings, work centers, and cost structures. It integrates with product change control processes and PLM systems to ensure revisions and engineering updates flow seamlessly into planning, costing, and execution.
