Reliable and Efficient Management of Capacities and Resources
The transition from a manufacturing market to a buyer's market, meeting the demand on a lot of varieties as well as shortened product cycles and innovation cycles are challenges that modern manufacturing companies have to deal with. This results in an inconsistent demand and yet requires high quality service, which can only be met by sufficient production flexibility and a quick reaction to the market trends. At the same time, organisational planning, control and monitoring of manufacturing processes, especially for quantity, delivery and capacity planning face additional challenges.
FOSS-Planning offers a variety of methods that can be applied parallel to each other to determine and plan requirements based on quantity and delivery dates, in order to be able to meet the company specific challenges. The different planning methods are complemented by comprehensive informational functions. Users are hence able to process plans such as decreasing their machining time, meet scheduled dates and maintain low levels of stock effectively and flexibly.
