Actify in Detroit, a provider of visualization and program management solutions for the automotive supply chain, announced the availability of its assistive scheduling in its cloud-based Automotive Program Management (APM) suite.
The program launch can now help users manage large numbers of interrelated projects across multiple locations, departments, and suppliers in compliance with quality standards, tight budgets, and OEM deadlines. A central component of their responsibility is keeping launches on track in the face of continual changes.
The goal of assistive scheduling is to help users make well-informed schedule changes based on conclusions that have weighed available options and change combinations and modeled their outcomes.
Once a scenario has been selected, the system instantly informs team members of changes affecting their individual tasks and timelines. Assistive scheduling enhances managers’ ability to fully use their experience to make informed decisions that reduce cost and risk.
“This is a breakthrough capability not previously available in any commercial program or project management software,” says David Opsahl, CEO of Actify. “It allows automotive suppliers to manage schedule changes with unprecedented diligence, efficiency, and confidence.”
Actify APM is an integrated software system that engineers to deliver a better way for automotive supplier teams to manage program launches, and it replaces industry-wide legacy practices that rely on disconnected spreadsheets, project tools, and dashboards.
Actify’s integrated solution is meant to eliminate non-value-added activity and should allow launch teams to focus on achieving best program outcomes. Additionally, it should create a foundation on which to develop innovative capabilities that elevate automotive program management success, such as assistive scheduling.
