Advanced planning and scheduling in real-time are essential in the Consumer Products industry, where consumer's preferences change rapidly and margins are always under pressure. Our planning and scheduling solution, allows you to create an efficient and responsive factory that delivers quality products and market success.
Producing consumer goods in an efficient, accurate and cost-effective manner requires the successful implementation of an effective planning process that optimizes a plant and its production lines. It is no longer enough to design a plant for stable and steady production. In the consumer goods market, production processes require continuous adaptation as consumers’ preferences change and increased personalization drives many more, smaller lot sizes.
Our comprehensive planning and scheduling solution directly imports information from product design (the product’s Digital Twin) and from ERP and automation systems, allowing planners to analyze complex situations while taking into account corporate constraints and rules. Using our solution makes it possible to generate and evaluate multiple scenarios so you can react quickly and intelligently to changes.
Explore the key areas of this solution.
Model advanced resource constraints and advanced inter-operation constraints including limits on the time between operations. Determine whether these can be extended.
Implement customer-specific rules to account for how materials are to be consumed.
Define additional schedule optimization rules to minimize changeover times, account for preferred sequencing, and campaigning. Build composite rules using the workflow tool.
Visualize the production process, from raw materials through to finished goods and sales orders. Visualize material dependencies and identify where shortages will occur.
Calculate proposed purchase requirements from production planning BOMs and export to an ERP system, Excel, etc. for action as needed.
Access and alter the database schema as required to solve specific scheduling problems and create custom data manipulation tools for use with the workflow engine.
Display the Master Production Schedule as stock and capacity graphs. Easily edit it and visualize the changes in linked plots and grids.
View, search, and interact with schedules to track the progress of orders, assess production performance, and provide up-to-the-minute work-to-do lists.
Evaluate the effects of future demand changes and quickly determine whether it is possible to meet new requirements.
