Supply Chain Management for Business Manufacturing Logic

For any manufacturing company creating optimal production schedules has become key success factor. Especially in manufacturing industries competition level has risen and customers have become increasingly demanding. The manufacturer must deliver  products at the right quality, at the right time, and of course at the right price.

Also companies are expected to collaborate within the various supply chains, not only looking at optimizing their own prcesses but working together with customers and suppliers towards ‘Supply Chain Optimization’.

The high pressure on the manufacturers planning department is obvious. We –with our partners- provide solutions to make the planning department and their processes perform better. Our solutions help the planners by suggestion and optimization; providing them more ‘grip’; enlarging their span-of-control.

Our solutions support various types of planning processes, on multiple different levels i.e.  Strategic, Tactical, and Operational in environments such as metal planning (the so called V-plant: 1 raw material, lots of end-product varieties), assembly planning (the T-plant, few materials, few varieties, but with shifting bottlenecks), and fast moving consumer good production (the I-plant, lots of raw materials, recipe, few wip-products, standardised production process, lots of end-product varieties).
