PLANET TOGETHER

Advanced Planning and Scheduling

plans and schedules production

PlanetTogether APS is an advanced planning and scheduling solution, based on the .NET platform and Microsoft SQL Server, that enables the planning and scheduling of finite-capacity production activities, taking into account company resources and inventory or stock constraints.

It can provide all the scheduling information needed to guide and control the production plan, perform what-If analysis, and increase the saturation rate of company resources.

Why implement a scheduler

Increases sales

Taking advantage of faster production times

Reduce stock

aligning production with demand

Reduce unit costs

With more efficient production cycles

Improves decision-making

With visibility, scenarios, and capacity analysis

Benefits in less than a year

Productivity

Cost Reduction

On-time Deliveries

Inventory with JIT

Finite capacity scheduling

PlanetTogether enables the scheduling of production orders/phases at finite capacity, considering materials, resource availability and constraints.

Allows you to manage optimization rules, prioritizing orders by delivery date, throughput, cost, or allows you to create custom rules. balancing constraints on delivery dates, WIP reduction, setup time optimization, and more. Includes ASAP and JIT (Just in time) scheduling capabilities to minimize inventory.

Interactive Gantt

Visual Scheduling by dynamic and interactive Gantt chart, perfectly synchronized with factory advances and events.
Plan visualization on a single, fully configurable gantt chart;
Drag & Drop functionality for self-adjustments on the plane;
Graphical histograms of resource loadings;
Gantt by resource and by order;
Graphic visualization and immediate management of bottlenecks;
Tools for resolving bottlenecks (Buffer management Workbench – Overtime Intervals).

What-If Analysis

It allows for infinite scheduling scenarios, comparing the results to define which production plan is best.

Powerful CTP Capable-To-Promise functionality to provide customers with immediate answers about the delivery date of potential new incoming orders. The experiment is performed considering already scheduled and ongoing work, capacity availability, and materials.

Business KPIs

It allows you to visualize and measure the quality of the production plan through KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) analysis.

Real-time analytics with strong visual impact, allowing you to immediately see how proposed schedule changes impact customer order deliveries and forecasts.
Configurable KPIs, to measure the outcome of the production plan against targets and be able to improve it.
