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:

1. Improve customer service through better anticipation and optimized resource allocation.
2. Reduce costs and improve productivity by minimizing reliance on outsourcing, last-minute changes, and urgent orders, while optimizing production campaigns.
3. 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.

• AZAP Forecasting
• AZAP Upstream & Downstream Procurement
• AZAP Inventory Optimization
