Production Planning for Manufactured Items
Optimize Manufacturing with Aquilon’s Production Planning for Manufactured Items
Efficient manufacturing hinges on accurate production planning. Aquilon’s Production Planning module leverages real-time data to streamline the coordination of demand and supply for in-house items. This module generates a production planning worksheet, offering insights and recommendations on production quantities based on preconfigured item parameters.
Real-Time Data Integration
Aquilon’s Production Planning module synchronizes demand and supply data of made-in items in real-time. By consolidating this information, the module generates a production planning worksheet that guides decision-making for production quantities. This data integration ensures that manufacturing remains aligned with actual market needs.
Transparent Insight
Users gain access to transparent insights into the supply-demand landscape. With the ability to drill down to foundational data, informed decisions become possible. Work orders can be generated directly from the production planning worksheet, providing real-time visibility into material requirements. In instances of material shortages, the system facilitates linked purchase orders, ensuring uninterrupted production flow.
Optimized Capacity Management
Aquilon’s capacity planning system is versatile, loading all available capacity without being constrained by work center limitations. In other words, it is an Infinite planning system, not a Finite planning system. The production planning manager is responsible for rescheduling tasks to balance capacity and optimize efficiency.
