Production Planning
There are many types and levels when it comes to production planning. The lowest level is often referred to as "production scheduling" and has the features that the horizon is short and the environment quickly and constantly changing. Strange that many manufacturers still use a static program like Microsoft Excel in such a dynamic environment.
The advantages of an electronic planning board
An electronic planning board gives your production planners a good basis for their work. By means of a Gantt chart, all production orders are presented in an orderly manner. In addition, the system automatically visualize the actual status of the production so that the planner is constantly aware of the consequences of changes in production. The system then assists the planner in finding the smartest way to respond to these changes.
Do not ignore the expertise of your planners
An electronic planning board, does not do the planning for you, but speeds up the planning process and improves the results. We urge you to consider twice before using complicated "solvers" and expensive packages at this level. Instead ask your planners to use expertiese with a advanced planning board tool to quickly and effectively make final decisions.
