Use decision tools for better short-term tactical planning with a few weeks planning horizon and detailed sequencing and scheduling, and long-term strategic planning covering months and years
On the demand side, the solution considers forecasts, long-term orders, and overall demand planning. On the capacity side, it takes into account the availability of resources (machines, labor, tooling, materials, and more) and additional constraints to ensure an accurate model of your environment.
Planning can be executed in finite or infinite capacity mode and planning time periods can be days, weeks, months, or a combination of all three. Detailed production schedule information can be sent back to the production plan.
Simply click and drag, and the production of a particular item can be moved from one planning period to another. Manually interact with the schedule to make changes, save, and digitally push updates to your whole production schedule. Define schedule optimization rules to deal with problems such as minimizing changeover times and preferred sequencing.
Taking your business objectives, forecasts, demand, and capacity constraints into account, the solution determines what and how much to make, where and when to make it, and exactly what materials and resources are required to achieve your optimized and achievable production schedule.
The solution is designed to support decision making about the feasibility and affects to your production as well as major production capacity decisions. It also provides decision-making support for overtime, order prioritization, split production batches, due date negotiation, and order processing.
