Production-scheduling.com enables clients to develop their own planning and scheduling systems from the ground up. The result is a system with one hundred percent of the functionality you need and nothing that you do not.
Our clients strive for fast, responsive processes in planning and execution. These processes build on a foundation of lean, demand flow manufacturing, and constraints-based management. A system that will support these methods in planning needs to be flexible to respond in near-real time, with accuracy that can support planning precision down to minutes.
Standard MRP logic is based on a push-planning method, and this is simply incompatible with world-class manufacturing goals of demand-driven production. The typical outcome is that planners adjust and re-adjust the MRP schedule constantly according to the changes to actual demand. This work is often performed in static excel sheets with data residing on multiple instances of local copies. This generates huge levels of manual work and risk, whilst leaving important decisions without the visibility of a system and with no systematic policy and logic guiding the rules.
Dynamic integration with a custom-developed Excel-based systems provides planners with a tool that is able to optimise and control their make-and-buy decisions to best lean and demand flow practices. All data is tightly integrated with the system, eliminating manual non value-added work and driving to a single version of the truth.
See some examples of our clients and the results that they have gained with using this approach.
