Qioptic | PLANNING TRANSPARENCY

Complete mapping of production planning processes with simultaneous process harmonization and optimization

Implementation Highlights

  • Standardized production planning processes mapped across plants
  • Prompt delivery of all components for the production order
  • Reduction of buffer times through finite capacity planning
  • Reduced setup effort through optimized planning
  • Setup-optimized production planning
  • Optimal use of capacities

CHALLENGES

  • Increasing complexity in terms of product variety, parts list depth, machinery & employees, replanning by customers
  • Faster response to requests and changes
  • More transparency on the order network and resource utilization
  • Requirements cannot be met by planners or can only be met with a great deal of time

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

  • Uniform processes and simple, cross-plant handling
  • Increase of delivery reliability
  • Reduction of processing times
  • Reduction of stocks
  • Efficiency increase

Together with CONSILIO, we implemented a coordinated method for planning by using SCM APO.
A basis that enables the mapping of production planning processes with simultaneous process harmonization and optimization.We can optimally utilize capacities through finite planning, reduce inventories and can deliver on time and in the proper manner.
