Production Planning in Logistics

// Home / Solutions / Workforce@Logistics / Production Planning in Logistics /

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 logistic production planning is, the more precise a workforce management plan can be prepared and realized.

But how do you predetermine exact figures for workload? In addition to common workforce management, ORion-PI^® Workforce@Logisticsoffers a well-proven methodology to determine demands. It considers the following criteria:

Consideration and modelling of your customized warehouse layout with basic MTM-time components per bin location, product and walking times
Quantity allocation along the logistic process flow
Different workloads per zone and order peaks during the day

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