welcome to planet together
advanced planning and scheduling
overview thank you for joining us for
the next few minutes you'll see how
planet together advanced planning and
scheduling can directly impact your
bottom line through collaboration among
sales production planning purchasing
maintenance and management at multiple
facilities planning and scheduling
activities can be extremely difficult to
manage for companies that produce a
variety of products are operating near
or above capacity have multiple
manufacturing facilities our equipment
intensive or require skilled labor
perhaps you can relate to some or many
of the issues presented here each of
which can have a significant impact on
the bottom line collaboration among
multiple planners and/or manufacturing
facilities can add to the complexities
involved with planning and scheduling if
you are faced with some of these
challenges it may be time to consider
advanced planning and scheduling the
more resources you have to manage the
more complex and overwhelming the
planning and scheduling process can
become machines may require significant
setup or changeover and unlike labor
resources cannot easily be added to the
production line certain jobs may only be
allowed to run on certain equipment or
need routine maintenance or go down
tooling molds and dyes can add to the
complexity of scheduling equipment and
labor may be a constraint based on
certain skill levels or you may want to
plan future requirements for long term
staff and considerations in a
traditional MRP and scheduling
environment material requirements are
resolved by MRP and capacity
requirements are handled by the
scheduling system with this - phased
approach the production schedule can get
out of phase with the material
requirements for example a job can get
released to the
fluor only to find out there is a raw
material shortage or job gets moved on
the schedule but the preceding jobs do
not get rescheduled accordingly creating
a material shortage of excess work and
process let's look at a relatively
simple process in this example our
routing calls for a saw paint and
assembly operation each operation
requires one or more resources we have
two saws however one can only handle
wood up to a certain thickness the other
saw is capable of handling any size for
certain jobs a special saw blade is
required the paint booth requires
laborers with certain skills and there
is significant setup when the paint
color changes from darker to lighter
color the last operation is the assembly
process we only need to know that three
people are on the assembly line to make
sure we have enough people to work today
our small scenario seems simple enough
except for the fact that different
departments can have conflicting goals
and management typically has multiple
objectives that need to be met
maximizing profit may be a difficult
goal to meet when orders are late the
planner is going to expedite the job
work overtime or do whatever it takes
and cannot necessarily see the impact on
profit objectives how difficult can it
be to manage this get planning and
scheduling activities involved in
building a birdhouse well let's find out
our finished product consists of a
birdhouse and a bird feeder there are
two lines one for the house and one for
the feeder the process is identical for
each with the exception that the house
can only use saw number one the feeder
could actually go on to either saw
number one or saw number two four orders
come in and the jobs are scheduled
according to the order due date
one week later and we are in real
trouble one of the orders is already
late the red bird feeder is sitting in
the final assembly area however there is
no red birdhouse as we work our way back
we start to see all sorts of
inefficiencies and bottlenecks remember
our paint booth requires significant set
of time when we switch from dark to
light color paint but the planner failed
to take the color into consideration
when scheduling jobs 4 6 and 7 there are
three jobs lined up on sander number one
while the second sander stands idle
finally to make our day saw number 2
goes down now let's see what happens
when we optimize our schedule to reflect
all of the objectives we have of
minimizing set-up maximizing profit and
meeting on-time deliveries the bird
feeder job number 2 gets moved to saw
number 1 when saw number 2 goes down
jobs 3 & 5 are offloaded to sander
number 2 to eliminate the bottleneck on
sander number 1 and finally job 6 is
moved up to eliminate set-up time the
end result is lower costs and higher
profits making sure that none of the
other jobs are late plan it together
advance planning and scheduling resolves
material labor and capacity constraints
simultaneously by looking at all of the
required and available resources and the
specific capabilities of those resources
the schedule is optimized to meet
customer service objectives operational
efficiencies cost containment and profit
objectives it is a collaborative tool
that allows planners to quickly respond
to disruptions on the shop floor and
immediately assess the impact by looking
at specific metrics such as on-time
deliveries profit and so on planners can
make changes to the schedule with
confidence knowing they can always undo
a schedule change or work in a what-if
environment before committing the change
who in your organization stands to
benefit from planet together advanced
planning and scheduling sales will have
accurate order dates to communicate to
their customers detailed actionable
schedules will be dispatched to
production planning is able to
efficiently and effectively manage
capacity loads material requirements are
communicated to purchasing based on
realistic schedules scheduled and
unscheduled downtime and setup are
communicated to the maintenance
department management can forecast
future cash flows the bottom line is
that every company wants to decrease
expenses increase revenue and increase
cash flow plan it together advanced
planning and scheduling can potentially
help you improve the bottom line by
reducing production cycle times
improving machine utilization reducing
inventories increasing on-time
deliveries reducing customer stock-outs
and reducing the order to cash and cash
to cash conversion cycle x' how does the
production schedule get communicated to
the shop floor our planner spending time
managing spreadsheets or in daily
meetings with production sales and
purchasing plan it together advanced
planning and scheduling is the missing
piece in your current planning process
fully integrated with your other systems
it enables you to share accurate dates
with your sales and production teams
quickly adjust the changes and execute
according to schedule to learn more
about how advanced planning and
scheduling can work for your business
