Advanced Production Planning & Scheduling Software for Discrete Manufacturing Industries
Optimizing the Yin & Yang of Manufacturing Industry
NEED OF THE HOUR
In a Production floor, Planning Scheduling is a looped process, as each fuels the other.
While Planning defines the ‘What How,’ Scheduling defines the ‘Who When.’ This makes the production planning process, a critical, detail-oriented and time-consuming task. When production planning scheduling is done manually or with spreadsheets, or with basic software applications, it is prone to have errors that create inefficiencies in the production delivery life-cycle. Such planning tools lack speed and limits the potential to scale-up. Often, they do not include real-time dynamic information either, due to which planning managers have to alter the entire plan, each time there is a change or an update in the process. Hence, Scientific Precision Planning is crucial in order to succeed in the manufacturing industry.

Efficiency is an Outcome of Good Planning
Based on M6 Analysis, InventiX-PlanIT helps manufacturers balance between, managing workflows (efficiently & economically), while meeting customer deliveries on-time, consistently.
InventiX-PlanIT is an easy-to-use application that generates accurate production schedules based on actual capacity, material availability and delivery timelines. This means Planning Managers can:
- Optimize resource efficiency
- Reduce outsourcing by maximizing the utilization of own resources
- Reduce lead times, throughput and pack & hold
- Save working capital by minimizing inventory & WIP
- Respond quickly to backlogs with high visibility to production information
- Get indications of potential problems and take corrective action to avoid late deliveries & penalties
- Identify untapped production capacity to respond immediately to new sales opportunities

Realistic & Accurate Planning based on Finite Capacity
Finite capacity-based planning considers capacity availability as a constraint. InventiX PlanIT strikes a fine balance between demand and capacity.
- Finite capacity-based planning considers capacity availability as a constraint. InventiX PlanIT strikes a fine balance between demand and capacity.
- Provides realistic view of available capacity –Factory Calendar, Number of Shifts, Shift start & end times, Manpower, Machines, Molds etc.
- Account for unexpected events such as Machine breakdowns, Excessive changeovers or Operator absence, that can cause reductions in capacity.
- Identify and justify opportunities for increasing capacity by offering overtime, subcontracting work, splitting batches and avoiding bottlenecks
Probability Analysis
- Evaluates alternate plans based on data changes and helps to make informed decisions
- Presents consequential ‘What-if’ scenarios based on comparative options
- Executes multiple Work Orders based on resource availability and constraints
360 Degree View
- User friendly graphical planning board
- Active Work Orders with WO number, Specification, Quantity, Start and Delivery timeline
- Priority status of WO as High – Medium – Low based on Customer and Delivery conditions
- View respective cycle times/ SAM (Standard Allocated Minutes) of WO in the same screen
- View material availability and approval clearance date for reference
- Complete visibility before taking up the WO for planning
Visual Access to Insightful Data
- Drag & Drop Gantt Charts and color-coded graphs presents dynamic data insights
- Make changes to Production Schedule instantly and view accurate forecasts based on changes
- Collaborate live with internal and external stakeholders, and create accurate forecasts
Integration & Deployment
