React quickly and intelligently to changes
Longest sequence of activities in a project plan which must be completed on time for the project to complete on due date. An activity cannot be started until its predecessor activity is complete; if it is delayed for a day, the entire project will be delayed for a day unless the activity following the delayed activity is completed a day earlier.
Consider the complexity of coordinating design and sampling, range selection and the buying process, purchase orders, raw materials approvals, costing and more; then combine this with an extended supply chain, often in numerous countries. Now factor in frequently changing Buyer requirements, often at the last minute and you probably recognize the the challenges faced daily by many manufacturing businesses.
Without good systems, the result is relentless communication, using an almost infinite number of separate spreadsheets, emails, meetings, faxes and telephone calls both internally between departments and externally with suppliers. Seeing true priorities and gaining fast access to management level reporting is almost impossible.
Our solution has been developed specifically to offer instant visibility, a single point of reference for accurate information, effective prioritization and a high level of control of all key processes for both the design and development and the purchasing and tracking stages of the manufacturing activity.
Better coordination

A powerful system checks in real-time pre-production steps and makes priorities to all your departments/employees in order to respect the planned starting date of production.
Early warning system

Eventual problems can always be solved if you know in time about it. The system alert the departments management, planning and sales about possible delays even before its happens.
A single point of reference

Infinite number of separate spreadsheets, emails, meetings and telephones just to find out what's the status of your production orders. With Retroplaning you now have a single point of reference for each order and for your full planning.
More effective management

A manager running between departments is not an effective manager. Changing priorities and deadlines fast and easy allows more time spent actually addressing issues.
Retroplanning - React quickly and intelligently to changes.
How it works
Each order has a "Starting date" given by capacity planning and/or delivery date. Retroplaning is an automated system that splits the time remaining up to start date into stages and tasks by the preset critical path. The objective is simply to have everything ready until production start.
Think of this as an orchestra conductor. Priorities are changing daily by the planning department and all employees tasks are automatically re-planned. Now all the team works on the same plan.
Retroplaning is not a task management tool and not even a project management tool but is the automated tool that verify thousand of information, dates, deadlines and scenarios. The result is a task-list and the management reporting. We linked Retroplanning with the best task management system www.bitrix24.com.
Employee Workload Management
The employee workload planning in project management let you finish more tasks on time and identify which ones are getting dangerously close to being overdue. Supervisors can allocate how much time should be spent on each task and then track actual time spent completing them. Monthly reports on time spent on tasks for each department and each employee are available.
