Scheduling

With smart scheduling, production runs more smoothly and resources are used in the best way. It creates a stable flow with fewer stops and bottlenecks, while allowing plans to be easily adjusted to changing conditions.

Maximize productivity and increase delivery accuracy

Increased flexibility

Quick and easy re-planning, with support for what-if scenarios, allowing you to adapt production to changing conditions.

Increased productivity

Better use of machines, people and materials minimizes bottlenecks and material shortages in production.

Increased customer satisfaction

Provide timely notifications of delivery dates and ensure that customer promises on delivery times are kept with scheduling of the entire production flow.

Common challenges

-> Manual production planning and scheduling is time consuming

-> No support for scenario planning

-> Lack of communication and transparency between marketing, planning, purchasing and production

-> A few key people have all the knowledge about how planning and scheduling is done

-> Difficult to see the impact of priority orders and to manage panic orders

-> Takes a long time to create a new plan

Here's how we've solved past challenges

Scheduling and control of batch production

The problem

Complex multi-stage batch production where established products compete with customer development products - in terms of materials and capacity. The planning process was time consuming and lacked accuracy.

Solution

A powerful Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS) solution that combines an accurate and detailed planning process, better visualization and increased inventory control.

Result

Faster planning process with precise delivery dates communicated to customers
Ability to quickly visualize material shortages
Better inventory control and synchronization with material purchasing

About this position

Efficient and flexible scheduling

For maximum production efficiency

Effective scheduling is based on fast, rule-driven planning that easily adapts to changes. Clear visualization and smooth communication create a common overview of the entire production.

The Advanced Production Scheduling (APS) solution optimizes the production order based on the machines' downtime matrix, capacity and shift calendars. It ensures that the right resources are used at the right time, minimizing downtime and increasing productivity.

Features and benefits

-> Scheduling based on machine capacity, setup times and resource calendars

-> Fast rule-driven planning that simplifies daily adjustments and re-planning

-> Real-time visualization that provides a clear overview of the entire production

-> Scenario analysis with "What-if" function for better decisions and robust plans

-> Synchronization between departments and sites for increased collaboration and control

-> Reduced set-up times through optimized resource use

-> Shorter lead times and higher delivery precision, even in changing conditions

Questions and answers

Scheduling is the detailed planning of production - deciding when and how to run different orders, taking into account resources, machine capacity and available materials. An effective scheduling solution minimizes set-up times, maximizes output and increases delivery accuracy.

An advanced scheduling solution (APS) optimizes machine utilization based on setup time matrices and capacity calendars. This results in better resource utilization, shorter lead times and a more stable production flow without bottlenecks.

APS eliminates manual labor and simplifies scenario planning. You can quickly reschedule in case of changes, identify material shortages in advance and communicate exact delivery dates - reducing dependency on key personnel.

Rule-based and automated planning reduces set-up times and increases capacity utilization in production. Plans can be adjusted in real time, making the entire supply chain faster and more reliable.

'What-if' functions allow you to test different planning options before making decisions. This gives you peace of mind and makes production more flexible in case of unexpected events.
