Service Offering - Effective Production Planning Architectures within 4 Walls
Planning failures also occur within operations. This is typically because people cannot see the big picture, and see how their responsibilities fit within that picture. Architectural design can address these issues.
Deliverables :
- Determination of the processes, parameters, ground rules, time fences and heuristics in regard to sequence and quantification of production, that appropriately balances the needs of the customer with those of the supply chain.
- Linkage mechanisms between master production schedule and the S&OP.
- Determination of the planning calendar, that should drive planning activities in the daily, weekly and monthly cycles.
- Determination of language constructs and analysis proforma’s.
- Technology recommendations related to support of the planning process.
- Linkage mechanisms to customer service and order intake.
- Linkage mechanisms to procurement.
- Change control mechanisms.
- Organization design and development Implications.
