Production Planning
Proposal in D365
Focusing on advanced functionality, ease of use, and real-time reporting,
it streamlines the planning process and improves efficiency.
D365 standard features can’t meet the demands of the production floor.
Scattered demand information
Customer data, forecasts, and internal plans are fragmented, requiring enormous time for aggregation.
Uncertainty in supply and demand balance
Real-time visibility of the overall picture is difficult, leading to delayed risk detection.
Planning Process
The high adjustment workload during changes makes it difficult to respond promptly to market fluctuations.
Discrepancy between plans and the field
Plans that do not reflect actual conditions are making it difficult for instructions to reach the field.
An intelligent planning foundation centered on D365
Centralize all demand data
Information consolidation:
Sales forecasts, Customer forecasts, ETAs, and all other information displayed on a single screen.
Reduction of manual work:
Automate calculations such as automatically calculating the shipping date from the ETA.
Flexible Data Processing:
Flexibly accommodates customer-specific formats and internal code mappings.
PSI Balance: A Comprehensive Overview
Forecast future inventory trends：
Access detailed real-time purchasing (P), sales (S), and inventory (I) data to accurately predict future inventory trends. This enables early determination of whether supply is sufficient.
Flexible analysis axes：
Flexibly configure PSI definitions, such as whether to include planned purchase orders in “P” or demand forecasts in “S”.
Multidimensional Grouping：
Group data by various dimensions such as group, item code, and order type to enable multifaceted analysis.
PSI In/Out Statement for Detailed Investigation
Visualization of all transactions：
For specific items, system can display a list of all planned and confirmed order transactions for incoming and outgoing stock, along with the current inventory levels at that point.
Detailed tracking per warehouse：
System can track detailed movements of goods in and out per warehouse
Clear Pegging Information ：
Clearly displays which demand forecasts are being consumed by actual sales orders and to what extent. This enables accurate understanding of the relationship between demand and orders.
Adjust the optimal production sequence with intuitive operation.
Enhancements to D365 Native Function：
No external tools are required. We directly enhance the standard D365 Gantt chart with additional functionality, improving visualization and enabling seamless operation.
Color-coded for instant situational awareness：
Distinguish different order types (e.g., planned batch orders, approved orders) and statuses by color. Gain an intuitive, at-a-glance overview of the entire plan’s status.
Simplify manual operations ：
The improved display format allows you to quickly access the information needed for planning.
Complete your plan on the Gantt chart. Eliminate rework and free up time.
Simplify management with job consolidation
Integrate dependent jobs on the Gantt chart. Eliminate the hassle of managing multiple jobs individually and accelerate planning.
(Setup, processing, etc.)
One-stop job management
After adjusting plans via drag-and-drop, you can approve and finalize them without leaving the screen. The approval button is located within the Gantt chart and executes automatically upon saving, significantly shortening the process.
Production Order and Schedule:
Turning daily production targets into on-site capability.
Automatic calculation of daily production targets：
For each resource (machine or line), it automatically calculates the daily production quantity and outputs it in a tabular format.
Enhance on-site goal awareness：
Field staff can clearly understand their daily production targets.
Early Delay Prediction ：
It enables early prediction of whether progress is falling behind the production order completion date, allowing for proactive countermeasures.
Checklist feature that meets on-site needs
Setup Switching Checklist
Pre-determine the number of daily setup changes per resource. Systematically minimize downtime to enhance production efficiency.
Manpower Checklist
Accurately calculate the workforce required for each shift. Prevent understaffing or overstaffing and support optimal staffing.
Take planning precision and speed to a whole new level.
Improved visibility
Gain real-time visibility into all planning-related information, from supply-demand balance to production progress.
Maximizing efficiency
Intuitive UI and automation significantly reduce the workload from aggregation to issuing instructions.
Swift decision-making
Based on accurate data, we achieve robust planning adjustments that swiftly respond to market changes.
