Stop Guessing, Start Predicting: AI in Manufacturing Forecasting & Scheduling   

 Thursday, October 8th, 2026 at 11 am PT

Western Computer teal webinar

Learn how manufacturers are using Dynamics 365 to reliably commit to delivery dates, improve throughput, and build the ERP foundation that makes AI-assisted planning actually work.

When a customer asks if you can deliver by a specific date, what do you say?

If the answer involves a spreadsheet, a phone call to the floor, or a best guess — this webinar is for you.

Most manufacturers know that AI in planning is coming. What's less clear is what it actually looks like in practice, what your ERP needs to support it, and where Dynamics 365 fits in.

On October 8th, Western Computer's manufacturing practice will walk through exactly that: the planning and scheduling capabilities in Dynamics 365 that help manufacturers move from reactive to predictive — and what it takes to put them to work in your operation.

What You'll Learn

  • Why available-to-promise and finite capacity scheduling are the first places AI delivers real manufacturing value
  • How Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management handles planning optimization natively — and where it leads for complex, multi-site, or process manufacturers
  • How Business Central manufacturers can extend planning and scheduling capability
  • What your ERP data foundation needs to look like before AI-assisted planning delivers accurate results
  • How to assess whether your current Dynamics 365 setup is ready — or what the path looks like if it isn't
