Advanced Planning and Scheduling
PlanetTogether is a powerful Microsoft.NET
Advanced Planning and Scheduling solution that
takes into account machines, personnel, tooling,
and inventory constraints. With PlanetTogether,
your schedules are always up to date, your
resource plans are optimized around your
critical business drivers, and your team has
exceptional visibility to make better decisions.
Advantages
- Allows users to
easily move orders
around with
PlanetTogether's
exclusive Drag-and-Drop
tool feature and always
respects constraints
while automatically
moving other work out of
the way.
- Includes advanced
scheduling features like
overlap, storage
constraints, and custom
constraints.
- Gives the
look-and-feel of
Microsoft products for
easy usage.
- Manages all
constraints by taking
into account materials,
machines, labor, and
tooling.
- Infinitely
customizes activity
labels on our powerful
Resource Gantt and Job
Gantt.
- Shows resource
utilization and
availability by looking
at an organized Capacity
Plan graph and grid.
- Highlights problems,
like bottlenecks, in red
so you'll never miss a
scheduling conflict
again.
By connecting your planning and scheduling
systems to your order, inventory, and resource
management systems you remove "silos" of
information and improve the accuracy and
timeliness of the information your team is
working with. Plus you minimize the chance of
important details "slipping through the cracks".
PlanetTogether can tie into all modern business
systems to update schedules immediately as
important things happen in your company, such as
when:
- New orders are
created
- Material arrives
- Engineering changes
are made
- Equipment breaks
down
- Employees are absent
from work
- Production is
completed
Advantages
- Schedules are always
up to date and
"optimized" around your
business drivers
- Sales knows when
important orders will
ship
- Production knows
what to work on next
- Planners know where
material and capacity
shortages threaten
deliveries
- Management knows
what cash flows look
like and where there are
opportunities to improve
manufacturing
profitability
