Buz is a “just in time” production system, this means that if a customer orders 2 products that have a different production line and one of the products will take longer to build BUZ will plan this so that you don't have a product waiting in the warehouse while the other product is still in production.

Example

BUZ Blinds can build a roller blind in 5 days and can produce 50 Roller blinds per week

but they outsource Shutters which will take 6 weeks to build and can only order 10 per week

Just off these 2 values we can tell that the Rollers will be ready much sooner than the Shutters

BUZ Software will delay the rollers to start on week 5 so that both the Shutters and Rollers are due to be finished on the same day, this way there is only one appointment for installation and the rollers don't require storage while the Shutters are still being made.

Factors

There are a few factors that BUZ will take into account, Not all of these may be relevant to your business and we have ways to ignore them if you want

Check Measure -

  • Lead days

  • Installer -

    • Amount of time per day

    • Time to install per product

    • Time to install per product

    • Time between jobs

Not all of these values are the same, some use different units of measure, there are minutes and days

  • No labels
