Deciding on the milestones and lead times you will use for a WIP Tracking calendar can be a challenge. If your PO system has the milestones and plan dates built in, we can read them into Intellimas® as is. If not, Intellimas® has several ways to help you establish them:
Based on Shipping Method
User Defined Calendar Templates that are Selected for Each PO
User Defined Calendar Templates that are Defaulted Based on Specific Criteria
Plan Dates Input Manually Either by the Vendor or Internally

Managing by exception is an area that Intellimas® does an exceptional (don’t mind the pun) job of, especially when it comes to WIP tracking. As an internal business user, you want to avoid weeding through purchase orders and timelines which are looking good. You want to pinpoint the trouble spots and act on them quickly. Here are some ways Intellimas® provides for better exception management:
Shared Searches which are One-click Retrievals of all PO’s that Have Specific, User-defined Exceptions. Examples are Missed Plan Dates, Upcoming Plan Dates, Updated Vendor Delivery Dates, etc.
Alerts to Identify Specific Scenarios That May Need Even More Attention
Comprehensive Reporting which can be Delivered to your Desktop that Shows User Defined Metrics or Specific Issues to be Mitigated
