Production planning and control executed in seconds

We have experience from the real manufacturing life, that the production planning process can take a lot of time in average manufacturing plant. Average manufacturing plant we consider a plant with 500 to 1 000 employees.

From hours to minutes

There are several options how to make the create the production plan and distribute it to the workers at the shopfloor:

• Production planning in Microsoft Excel
• Printing and manual distribution (walking) of the production orders to the Kanban board (heijunka)
• Several softwares connected together.

From our practical process takes several hours a week of several employees. We faced the challenge to minimise that total time needed for creation and distribution of production plan. And its execution in the shopfloor as well.

Production planning and execution in minutes

The connection between Production planner and Worker is essential

In case we don’t let the Planner communicate the Production plan and its changes instantly, with no delay, to the hundreds of workers in the typical manufacturing plant, then we have a problem.

Typically this problem is solved by hiring several employees more for analysis of the planning and distribution to the shopfloor. It means activities and waste time like:

• checking excels
• printing paper cards (orders)
• walking back and forth between the office and the workstations
• checking of the paper cards
• correction of errors caused by the complexity and difficulties related to this outdated process
