Production/Distribution Planning
Production and/or distribution planning applications allocate optimally the forecasted demand to the production or distribution units of the supply chain network, taking into consideration all relevant constraints including, inventory levels for each product, transportation capacity and time, production capacity and raw material availability. Optimization techniques, such as linear programming and heuristics, are used to minimize the production and inventory costs and to maximize revenue. At the same time, our applications provide the ability to examine what-if scenarios related to demand or supply changes, reduction of capacity, cost fluctuations etc.
Optimisation and "What - If" analysis functionality are easily activated by user -friendly icons and buttons. Results are presented in the form of maps, graphs, tables, etc.
Scheduling
Scheduling applications focus on defining the sequence, timing and volume of manufacturing activities or movements to be executed in each production unit. The resulting sequence of activities takes into account all capacity, inventory, material availability and delivery time constraints and, at the same time, increases throughput and dramatically minimizes the operational costs.
The interface of the scheduling application is extremely user friendly, enabling the combination of advanced optimization techniques and algorithms with human skills and experience. The scheduler has the ability to modify the schedule and see instantly the consequences, infeasibilities, delays in delivery, cost changes etc. The production manager continues to have the full control of what will be produced and where, having at his disposal an advanced tool to help him take correct and intelligent decisions.
The schedule is easily modified in a fully argumentative Gantt Chart. The economical and operational results of each modification are automatically presented and alternative solutions are given.
