Production Planning

STATUS QUO 

There is many problems with current scheduling practises. ERP has proven to be  too generic and high level which has forced companies to use MS Excel for detailed planning and finite scheduling. Excel is on the other hand very flexible, but a stand-alone tool for single users. It does not provide collaboration capabilities. Also integration problems, usage errors and individualism create many problems when using Excel. These inaccuracies causing problems with schedules, costs, capacity and delivery dates.

Many companies comment the problems saying that the tools are bad but they can live with it. This is very expensive statement. With better planning with better tools the benefits could be

• 5-20% of more capacity,

• less 20% less inventory or

• 30% faster lead times.
