Planning & Scheduling

Our solutions help customers modernize business processes, reduce production costs, and accurately fulfill obligations for order execution and shipment.

An effective planning system and synchronization of the work across all divisions help manufacturers to:

— Reduce the level of unfinished production
— Ensure a high level of completeness and timely delivery of units to the assembly site of finished products
— Shorten lead times
— Reduce production stock levels

The solution supports multiple manufacturing models such as MTS, MTO, ETO, CTO, ATO and covers three planning horizons:

— Master Production Schedule (MPS)
— Materials Planning (procurement)
— Scheduling (production orders)

Typically, customer-focused manufacturing companies use several types of production, including Make-to-Stock (MTS).

Asertiva Solutions, based on Infor LN, enables the implementation of various production planning and management scenarios.

The main business processes that the Planning solution covers are:

— Creation of a unified planning system for the development of working design documentation, procurement, and production
— Forecasting and modeling of demand for the company’s products
— Definition of the planned shipment date for finished products, just in time with product ordering, in accordance with production restrictions
— Planning of project resource needs (for project-based production)
— Volume-scheduling production planning
— Master data updating
— Building specifications for critical capacities and materials
— Calculation of planned capacity utilization
— Analysis of planned work center loads
— Modeling of production restrictions
— Planning of activities for the enterprise production capacity increase
— Production capacity planning with load leveling according to planning periods
— Calculation and analysis of terms for finished product release
— Formation of quotas for medium-term planning horizons (maximum possible product output volumes)
— Building of nomenclature plans for production and procurement
— Tracking of custom manufacturing plans
— Remapping management for stock and delivery usage
— Calculation of labor intensity for plan execution

Dispatching and efficient management of production orders:

— Control of production orders supply with materials and components
— Use of alternative replacements
— Demand planning and tool management
— Stock management during engineering changes
— Appointment of work orders (worker/labor appointment)

Production resource management during dispatching:

— Analysis of operations progress and shift adjustements
— Analysis and work centers load leveling
— Step-by-step operational control of the production state
— Work centers working time schedule changes (specific work center calendar) due to overtime and days off
— Analysis of equipment load
— Rescheduling operations by time and equipment units using “drag and drop"
— Control of transfer batch management
— Bottleneck management
— Operations accounting and bar-coding
