Production Planning

Optimize your production planning with capacity optimization, multi-level production management, and advanced algorithms. Utilize work centers efficiently and minimize costs.

Planner Problems

Critical challenges encountered in capacity and resource management at production facilities.

Capacity and Resource Management Challenges

Utilizing capacity correctly and efficiently in production facilities is a hard task. Production plans should ensure the right product is scheduled for the right machine and at the right time, while keeping costs to minimum.

The planner's constraints include sales order deadlines, a multi-layered and complex production concept, and insufficient resources and time. When all these factors come together, it becomes an extreme challenge to get the job done.

Multi-Layer Production

In a structure where a product is manufactured in multiple work centers, not only the final product but all components must be planned. Semi-finished products must be ready at the right time and in the right quantity.

Material Constraints

The production plan should consider material constraints, whereas adjustments should be made based on the available quantity. Each product has a different production duration and resource requirements.

Cost Optimization

Order deadlines must be met, the plan should create inventory burden at minimum level, and cost items such as overtime and extra labor should be kept to minimum.

Unexpected Cases

Machine breakdowns, changing material constraints, and unexpected sales orders make planning even more difficult and increase the probability of making mistakes.

Pressures Coming from Other Departments

Product change complaints from production, deadline criticisms from sales, and inventory pressure from finance overwhelm the planner and reduce motivation.

Complexity

An already difficult problem becomes a crisis. The probability of making mistakes increases, whereas job satisfaction drops down.

Arkhon Production Planning Process

Comprehensive production planning system from data entry to reporting.

Data Entry

Product, order and work center parameters

Product Information
  • Production groups
  • Customer descriptions
  • Inventory targets
  • Planning criteria
Stocks & Orders
  • Stock information
  • Sales orders
  • Production orders
  • Bill of Material (BOM)
  • Sales forecasts
Work Centers
  • Machine/workcenter/line descriptions
  • Working calendars
  • Production duration
Outputs

Matrices, plans, and confirmations

Production Matrix

The product's semi-finished and material recipes, production times, and associated machinery are determined. The resources to be used are also identified.

Sales Plans

Sales orders are combined with long-term forecasts to determine the main route of the production plan.

Production Plan
  • Capacity utilization algorithms
  • Best term optimization
  • High machine productivity
  • Scenario evaluation
Order Confirmations

When sales orders can be confirmed and revenue reports.

Reports

Four types of comprehensive reports

Primary Reports

Capacity utilization in production centers and where, when, and how much finished product will be manufactured.

Secondary Reports

Reports affecting non-production areas such as production constraints (bottlenecks), shelf life, and sales order confirmation.

Financial Reports

The plan's effect on company cash flow, including factors such as inventory, turnover, and excess stock.

Production Reports

Reports prepared on production work orders, warehouse utilization, and labor.
