Time action calendar software
In garment manufacturing each order is not less than a project to a manufacturer because from order receiving to completion of an order it involves a number of tasks of various timelines and utilization of various resources.
A time and action calendar defines the ideal date/time period within which the major activities of Production order should occur against a scheduled delivery window. Time and action calendar consist of the short term and long term plans so carefully laid out.
The chart consists of time frames listed for every action planned (major ones) and these actions need to be completed out on time. The purpose of TNA is to cross check at frequent intervals, say, once a week, whether the planning is being executed satisfactorily. The more frequent the checks, the easier it is to correct deviations. TNA is especially useful when a buyer wants to know the status of execution of an order.
