wayPRO - cross-project planning transparency and adherence to schedules

The functional scope of wayPRO is oriented according to classic network planning technology. The scheduling of activities can be mapped flexibly in the processes, and it is up to the person responsible to plan the project forwards or backwards and schedule individual processes permanently or orient them toward the entire network while scheduling using organizational relations. Thanks to real-time data processing, the results of the scheduling are available to the software immediately, for example, for displaying the critical path within a project. The effects with respect to other projects with the same participants are also visible at the same moment. Any conflicts in multi-project management can be revealed early on and important milestones can be incorporated usefully into the planning.

Planners who have experience with Microsoft will learn to operate the planning interface very quickly, so that after just a few days, they can use wayPRO to set up projects independently, detect conflicts, and plan realistically. Among other things, the module includes pre-configured and customized views and lists, which are also available for exchange among colleagues, and it always keeps the critical data up-to-date.

Depending on the function and requirement, the planning is mapped on different hierarchical levels. For management, aggregated overviews of selected or all projects are mapped, sorted according to the most important phases. The people responsible for the individual phases, by contrast, can see only their processes and corresponding dependencies in wayPRO.

In contrast to usual tools of this type, a wayPRO user does not block the editing of a network plan for other planners. Only the changed elements are updated on the way server. In addition, each participant has the opportunity to integrate other users’ changes into his own network plan and to assess effects.

Frequently, it is necessary to check alternative scenarios initially before they are taken over permanently. The scenarios center is available for such cases: Here, planning states can be copied by the productive system and checked before publication.

For schedule communication outside your company, MS Project can still be used. wayPRO allows a special export of the network plans in question for just this purpose.

wayPRO complements your SAP PS or other ERP system optimally with network planning functionalities. The regular transfer of the network plan data synchronizes the wayPRO planning results with your ERP system. For the SAP interface, there is a certified standard interface, which can be adjusted to your individual basic conditions. We will be glad to create a custom-tailored concept for the integration of wayPRO into your IT environment.

For the display of the entire supply chain – from order request to production order materials management to network planning milestone – wayPRO and wayRTS can be used together. Both systems are combined into one client.
