You may be experiencing problems such as your production processes becoming increasingly complex with the increasing variety of products in parallel with your growing business or the complexity of planning the raw materials and semi-finished product requirements required for production. In this case, you can examine the IFS Advanced Planning Board, an advanced scheduling tool that will realize your production plan at the most optimum level for you.
Briefly, scheduling is the planning of when and in which order the raw materials or semi-finished products that make up a product will be processed on the machines and machines at hand. IFS Advanced Planning Board is an advanced scheduling tool that will help you make real-time production planning in line with these constraints by monitoring production constraints in the most effective way.
With IFS Advanced Planning Board, you can move operations and resources on the Gantt chart automatically or by using the drag-and-drop feature along the timeline and plan them to meet your needs. The detailed structure of IFS Advanced Planning Board may seem complicated at first glance, but as you get used to it, you will see how useful it is.
With the filtering feature, you can schedule work orders by calling them to your Gantt chart screen according to certain features (product name, work center, project basis, etc.). You can create flawless production plans with IFS Advanced Planning Board, which allows scheduling by taking into account the supply times of the materials required for production (raw materials or semi-finished products) and the capacities of the work centers where they will be processed. For example; when you try to drag and drop any work order to a week in advance, if one of the critical materials will not be available that week or is not in the supply plan, it will not allow you to make this change. In addition, other variables that constitute constraints such as production schedule, labor capacity, operation tools and equipment and external supply times are also taken into account.
You can run IFS Advanced Planning Board in simulation mode, try different scenarios without any intervention to the work orders in the system, and save your planning work by monitoring the results, then open it again to work on it later and upload it to the system.
IFS Advanced Planning Board will help you eliminate situations such as late delivery of orders, under-utilization of installed capacity, increased production lead time, bottlenecks in production, customer dissatisfaction and customer loss.
