A strategic investment
Manufacturers cannot react quickly and intelligently to changes without planning & scheduling tools. The time it takes to generate a schedule using spreadsheets can take hours or even days and it can be difficult to maintain. If there is an unexpected change, it is not easy to generate a new schedule.
Better on-time, in-full, delivery performance is almost a given from advanced planning and scheduling software, able to quickly and dynamically schedule and re-schedule production orders to take into account not only real-world capacity limits, but unexpected events that pop up and bite us.
The planner’s job is not an easy one. Urgent orders arrive, delays to the delivery of raw materials, scrap and rework and resource breakdown can have a devastating impact on efficiency and promise dates. In a demand driven company where customer service must be maintained, costs reduced and resource utilization maximized, ERP systems, spreadsheets and wall-boards are not enough. He needs tools to analyze the problems as well as testing alternative scenarios to overcome them.
Having the right level of detail in the model is critical to providing the right solution for each company. Too much detail and the planner cannot easily understand the problems and recognize the solution. Too little detail may result in impractical plans and unreliable output.
WHAT to make?
What orders are ready to enter in production? If there is a gap what are the buffer orders to fill it?
WHEN to make?
When is the best time to produce in order to respect the delivery time and fill the production lines?
HOW MUCH to make?
What is the real need to produce on stock or in advance to have all production lines filled?
WHERE to make?
What product can be made on what production line ? How to keep the balance between them?
