Production Management
The software for production management that combines planning, control and quality.
inforum combines production planning, process control and quality assurance in a single system. A common database makes deadlines, capacities and quality requirements transparent and production processes controllable, traceable and auditable.
Plan, control and secure production
In practice, production management only works smoothly if planning, quality assurance and process control do not run alongside each other, but interlock. Deadline delays, capacity bottlenecks and quality deviations often occur where information is missing or available too late.
inforum creates the common basis. Production planning, inspection checklists and quality processes run on one platform and are directly linked to each other. Deviations become visible at an early stage and can be specifically addressed before they turn into costs.

- Meet deadlines reliably
Production steps are planned backwards based on the confirmed delivery date. All work steps are optimally coordinated in terms of time. - Manage capacities across locations
Personnel and resources are coordinated across locations. Bottlenecks and capacity utilization can be analysed at any time. - Ensure quality directly during production
Variable inspection checklists based on the machine configuration ensure seamless documentation during assembly, quality inspection and final acceptance. Deviations are tracked immediately. - Plan ahead instead of reacting
Future production capacity utilization is determined by analysing order data, trends and demand forecasts. Capacities are adjusted at an early stage and delivery commitments are reliably met.

Production management and quality in one software
Quality in production is not created by downstream control, but by processes that recognize and eliminate deviations at an early stage. inforum combines production planning and quality assurance on a common database.
Inspection checklists are directly integrated into production planning, deviations are recorded on the move and measures are tracked immediately. Quality processes such as the control plan and FMEA have a direct impact on production and create end-to-end assurance from order to delivery.
Software for your production management
inforum offers the right solutions for consistently planned, controlled and quality-assured production.
From the digital production plan to cross-location resource planning and mobile testing at the machine, all relevant processes run on a common platform.

CONNECT! connects your machines, data and processes to create a powerful platform for monitoring, optimization and future-proofing.
Production planning with PLAN! Precise, transparent, efficient
With PLAN! you can create your production plans directly on the basis of the configurations from BUILD! Planning takes place backwards from the planned delivery date so that you can reliably meet deadlines. Thanks to integrated forecasting functionalities, you can keep an eye on future requirements and optimize resources. Monitoring tools allow you to track progress in real time and intervene quickly in the event of deviations.
PLAN! makes your production planning smarter, more flexible and targeted – for maximum efficiency and adherence to deadlines!
JAWA makes inforum your solution for production management
inforum is the result of years of experience in the digitalization of industrial processes in production management, quality assurance and related areas. Behind the platform is a team that knows the industry-specific characteristics and operational reality in manufacturing companies from practical experience.
JAWA doesn’t just implement software. The team supports customers from process analysis to configuration and release at eye level. Industry knowledge and process expertise are incorporated into every implementation, making inforum a solution that works right from the start.
Practical experience
The digital inspection documentation with inforum has significantly reduced the effort involved in the final inspection. Results are immediately available, fully documented and traceable at all times.
Cross-location capacity planning significantly improves adherence to delivery dates. Bottlenecks become visible at an early stage and can be addressed in a targeted manner before they jeopardize delivery.
inforum has simplified our system landscape considerably. What used to be spread across several solutions now runs centrally – with significantly lower overall costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
inforum works as modular software that brings together production planning, process control, and quality assurance on a shared data foundation. Instead of managing schedules, capacities, and quality requirements in separate systems, inforum creates transparency across the entire production workflow and makes deviations visible early, before they lead to costs or delays.
Manufacturing companies achieve more reliable delivery dates with inforum through backward scheduling from the confirmed deadline. Mobile inspection checklists directly on the machine lower failure follow-up costs, since deviations are identified and tracked immediately.
Production planning and capacity management run on a shared data foundation in inforum. Resources are coordinated across sites, bottlenecks and utilization are analyzable at any time. This gives top management a consolidated, reliable basis for steering decisions, instead of relying on scattered individual systems.
Variable inspection checklists are created automatically based on the machine configuration and used on mobile devices in assembly, quality inspection, and final acceptance. Deviations are recorded and tracked immediately, before they lead to costs or delays. Quality processes such as control plan and FMEA thus work directly into production and create end-to-end coverage from order to delivery.
Capacities are managed across sites, bottlenecks and utilization are analyzable at any time. This makes inforum suitable as software for companies with multiple manufacturing sites in mechanical and plant engineering as well as the manufacturing industry.
