General Planning Functionality Features and Functions
All types of production modes, including process, repetitive, discrete and mix-mode manufacturing
|
- Planning solvers (heuristic solvers) for backward and forward scheduling
- Planning solvers (heuristic solvers) for anchoring on constraints of capacity and materials
- Planning solvers for inventory optimization
- Planning solvers for user-selected methodologies
- Planning solvers for economic order quantity (EOQ)
- Planning solvers for lot-for-lot and other procurement strategies
- Graphical user interface (GUI) to visualize and replan in a drag and drop paradigm
- Planning includes schedule options for least cost, due date, highest priority, highest utilization, leanest as well as user-driven requirements
- Load graphs and gant with variable time buckets (months down to minutes)
- Design and designate alternate routings
- Plan for line and work center set-ups or changeovers
- Ability to store multiple plan scenario options
- Analyze and create inventory buffer strategies at facilities and work centers (pull for backward schedule)
- Analyze and create inventory buffer strategies at distribution centers (push or multi-echelon planning)
- Create plans that solve for goals, including due date, utilization of constraint work centers, and priority customers
- Create dispatch list to release material for order management
- Create material release for manufacturing
