Planning
The Planning module aligns demand forecasting, capacity, and resource allocation for smooth operations. It minimizes bottlenecks and improves utilization of materials and machines.
Demand Forecasting
Predict future material and production requirements using historical data, consumption trends, and order patterns.
- AI-based forecasting models
- Seasonal & trend-based predictions
- Forecast vs. actual consumption tracking
- Multi-level forecasting (item/group)
- Automatic planning recommendations
Master Production Schedule
Create a realistic and balanced weekly or monthly production plan aligned with demand, capacity, and inventory.
- Plan generation by item or product family
- Capacity & material availability check
- Production load balancing
- MPS versioning & approval workflow
- Plan-to-actual variance tracking
Capacity Planning
Analyze machine and labor capacity to prevent bottlenecks and ensure smooth, uninterrupted production flow.
- Work center & machine load calculation
- Labor availability & shift planning
- Overload & underload detection
- What-if capacity simulation
- Capacity vs. requirement analytics
Material Planning (MRP)
Ensure the right materials are available at the right time by analyzing production demand, BOM structures, and stock levels.
- Automatic material requirement calculation
- Shortage alerts & replenishment planning
- MRP recommendations for PO/Production
- Multi-level BOM explosion
- Safety stock & reorder point evaluation
Resource Allocation
Allocate machines, manpower, tools, and work centers efficiently to ensure balanced production and minimal idle time.
- Machine & labor assignment
- Tool & fixture allocation
- Work center load balancing
- Shift-based resource planning
- Real-time resource utilization tracking
