Introduction

Manufacturing Production Optimization is a powerful tool for manufacturing organizations to streamline production planning by intelligently organizing, prioritizing, and scheduling production orders. This ensures increased efficiency, reduced manual planning effort, and greater control over manufacturing workflows — especially in complex or high-volume production environments.

Key Usage Scenario’s

• Automatically calculate starting and ending times for production orders based on planning characteristics, preparation time, and changeover rules.
• Group and sequence production orders by item, planning priority, and block settings for optimized execution.
• Respect planning flexibility settings to avoid rescheduling critical or locked lines.
• Enable automatic splitting of production orders when capacity constraints are exceeded, ensuring smooth daily planning.
• Visually manage planning periods through block assignments, color coding, and real-time updates during scheduling actions.
