Production Planning Should Not Depend On Memory

Many factories still rely on:

Multiple Excel files
Whiteboards
Planner experience
Manual machine checks
Phone calls for materials
Verbal coordination

This creates avoidable problems:

Machine conflicts

The same machine is scheduled for multiple jobs.

Operator conflicts

The same operator is planned for overlapping work.

Hidden bottlenecks

One overloaded process delays multiple orders.

Late delivery visibility

Delivery risk becomes visible only after production slips.

Material uncertainty

Production begins before material movement is coordinated.

How Production Planning Works

1

Create Production Orders

Capture: Customer, Production order number, Quantity, Delivery date, Manufacturing site, Planned start/end dates.

The production order becomes the operational record used throughout the factory.

2

Configure Parts and BOM

Define parent products, child components, required quantities, make items, and purchase items.

Manufactured components continue through machine planning. Purchased components continue through procurement.

3

Build Process Routes

Define the manufacturing sequence for each part. (e.g. Raw Material → Turning → Milling → Drilling → Inspection).

For every process define sequence, cycle time, machine type, and input/output locations.

4

Allocate Machines

Assign production quantities to machines. View available machines, existing allocations, and current load.

Large quantities can be divided across multiple machines.

5

Allocate Operators

Assign work to operators based on existing allocations, shift assignments, and planned production quantity.

Operator views allow planners to identify overloads before production begins.

6

Split Production Across Resources

A production quantity can be divided across multiple machines, multiple operators, and multiple shifts.

This allows planners to balance workload across available resources.

7

Review Capacity

Compare Required Production Load against Available Capacity across machines, operators, and departments.

This immediately highlights overloaded areas.

8

Validate Delivery Feasibility

The platform checks whether current capacity can support the requested delivery commitment.

Outcomes: Feasible, At Risk, Not Feasible. Recommends earliest completion date if constrained.

Material Flow Planning

Production planning is not limited to machines. This reduces material search time and improves production flow.

The planner can view:

  • Input material locations
  • Current process staging
  • Next process staging
  • Finished locations

Shortage Alerts

Identify material shortages early and receive timely alerts to prevent production delays.

2 Critical Shortages Detected

These materials are required within the next 3 days and have a negative net stock.

Planning Connected To Execution

Changes on the shop floor become visible to planners without requiring manual consolidation.

Production planning remains connected to:

  • Production reporting
  • Downtime logs
  • Order tracking
  • Inventory movement
  • Dispatch readiness
