Why dates slip
Orders are configured to order against rolling and casting campaigns on finite capacity. Slot an order into the wrong campaign and the promise slips by weeks, not days. A missing or wrong-type certificate holds steel that is physically ready to ship.
Slot the campaign, match the certificate
On-time-in-full, delivered on time and complete, is the measure, stricter than plain on-time because accuracy counts too. Each delivery needs a mill test certificate tied to the heat, on the EN 10204 types, proving chemistry and properties match the order.
Where the ERP closes the loop
On Hudace, the order book, the campaign schedule, and heat-level quality share one system, so Xenon AI predicts a realistic promise date from real capacity and sequencing, and auto-matches the correct certificate type to each heat at dispatch, flagging a mismatch before it holds a load.
A planner confirms the campaign slot; quality releases the certificate.
The numbers to watch
A promise you can keep is worth more than a fast one you cannot.
OTIF
On time and in full / total orders. Stricter than plain on-time delivery.
Order-to-delivery lead time
Order entry to ship-ready. A wrong campaign slot costs weeks.
Promise-date accuracy
Delivered vs promised date. The number a customer remembers.
Certificate-match rate
Loads shipped with the correct certificate first time. Mismatches hold ready steel.
