The planning module combines power and flexibility to automatically generate production plans that synchronize and
optimize manufacturing operations. Multiple constraints as well as user preferences and business goals are considered
to ensure that production plans reflect the user's unique operating environment. Intelligent algorithms utilize
customer order and forecast information together with information concerning resource capacity and capabilities and
user preferences and priorities to:
- Balance capacity usage
- Optimize setups
- Optimize resource utilization
- Perform EOQ analysis
- Automatically identify and minimize bottlenecks
- Reduce cycle times
- Increase throughput
- Improve on-time delivery
- Synchronize production; and
- Reduce work in process
ComMIT Plan has a unique "parameters based" design that allows business strategy parameters such as demand
fluctuations, to be automatically incorporated into the production plan calculations together with a large number of
operating parameters. As a result, production plans will be more realistic and automatically synchronized with overall
business objectives. This flexible design also ensures that production plans reflect changes in strategy or market
conditions much more quickly than would otherwise be possible.
Also features tool management, overtime and weekend management, subcontracting management, and simulation "what if"
analysis.
