SIMULTANEOUS PRODUCTION PLANNING

SIMULTANEOUS PLANNING IN SERIES PRODUCTION


Growing product portfolios, on-time deliveries and high-quality standards pose ever-growing challenges for companies. Attempts to conform to these challenges result in smaller batch sizes, exhausted capacities, and higher stocks. Planning managers achieve cost-optimized production planning with a simultaneous planning approach; that looks at all the influencing factors simultaneously and synchronizes them across the entire internal supply chain.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SIMULTANEOUS PRODUCTION PLANNING?

 

With the classic planning method, for example the MRP concept, cost optimality is a difficult goal to achieve. This is because step-by-step planning involves checking material availability and machine capacities one after the other. In addition, planning is based on unlimited capacities and permanent availabilities. As a result, missing raw materials and necessary semi-finished goods as well as capacity overloads lead to manual rescheduling, which in turn causes delivery delays. This kind of procedure cannot be cost-efficient.

 

With simultaneous production planning, you can precisely identify these problems at an early stage and initiate the necessary steps in all involved areas of the internal supply chain.
