Production Planning in Logistics and Manufacturing

An efficient workforce management is only useful and targeted, if the upcoming workload and its distribution to the various working areas are described realistically. Only based on clear indicators, exact demands can be calculated and available staff capacities deployed adequately. The more precise the production planning is, the more precise the staff planning can be prepared and realized.

But how do you predetermine exact figures for workload? In addition to common workforce management, ORion-PI^® Staff Planning & Scheduling offers a well-proven methodology to determine demands. It considers the following criteria in logistics and manufacturing:

Specials for Production Planning in Logistics:

Modelling of your customized distribution/logistics center layout based on the logistic process flow starting from goods receipt to the shipping area
On basis of order quantities and MTM-time components personnel demands are calculated exactly
Identification of different workloads per zone and order peaks during the day

Specials for Production Planning in Manufacturing:

Modelling of production facilities and resources based on manufacturing related process steps and in chronological dependencies
On basis of manufacturing version, bills of material, work schedules and MTM time components personnel demands are calculated exactly considering required staff qualifications
Identification of workloads per resource: What order is planned at what facility and what kind of qualifications are therefore required.

This results in an exactly calculated staff demand which facilitates your staff planning and can be used either for a shortterm planning horizon with an operative focus or for the longterm strategic budget- and capacity planning.
