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.
Challenges

Common challenges

Many organizations face the same challenges when it comes to collecting, updating, and utilizing information about facilities, equipment, and operations in their day-to-day work. This results in unnecessary manual work, unreliable data, and more difficult decision-making.

Manuell produktionsplanering och schemaläggning är tidskrävande
Inget stöd för scenarioplanering
Bristande kommunikation och transparens mellan marknad, planering, inköp och produktion
Ett fåtal nyckelpersoner sitter på all kunskap om hur planering och schemaläggning görs
Svårt att se effekten av prioriterade beställningar och att hantera panikordrar
Tar lång tid att skapa en ny plan
We Offer

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.

Scheduling flow

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
