AZAP Production Planning
This module offers a comprehensive set of features designed to make the production planner’s job simpler and more efficient.
The objectives of the AZAP Production Planning module can be summarized in three key points:
- Improve customer service through better anticipation and optimized resource allocation.
- Reduce costs and improve productivity by minimizing reliance on outsourcing, last-minute changes, and urgent orders, while optimizing production campaigns.
- Reduce inventory through better resource utilization and a more efficient product mix.
The main features available in the AZAP Production Planning module are:
- Production Plan Calculation: By product family over the medium term (12 to 36 months).
- Optimization of Production Requirement Allocation: To different manufacturing sites as well as storage facilities.
- Bottleneck Detection: To identify potential production or capacity constraints.
- Load/Capacity Simulation Functions: Supporting decision-making by simulating different production scenarios.
Other features now enable the calculation of the production plan for multi-site environments, including:
- Production Requirement Calculation by Item: Over a 6 to 18-month horizon.
- Optimization of Production Requirement Allocation: Across different production sites.
- Consideration of Environmental Impact: For each scenario, helping to align production with sustainability goals.
- Automatic Calculation of Safety Stock: To be implemented, ensuring better stock management and risk mitigation.
