Production Planning in Discrete Manufacturing with GANTTPLAN APS

“Our previous system quickly reached its limits due to the large number and complexity of orders. The manual planning processes led to significant delays and made reliable production planning more difficult. What used to take us two days to plan now takes us just two hours.”

“With the DUALIS software, we can simulate capacity expansions and plan for the medium and long term. The APS provides transparent planning of the entire value chain, reducing administrative workload and production costs through more efficient processes.”

“With the combination of the ERP system, GANTTPLAN and shop floor control, we were able to optimize the production sequence and machine utilization, so that on-time delivery has improved significantly. The planning and synchronization time has been significantly reduced. Thanks to regular updates from GANTTPLAN, we are constantly reducing the planning and synchronization time, thereby increasing performance.”

"A new colleague joined us during the tool's introductory phase, and we threw her in at the deep end, so to speak. Despite having virtually no experience in planning, she was able to manage the planning tasks optimally from the start with the help of GANTTPLAN."

“In a comprehensive Proof of Concept, we mapped out 23 use cases, incorporating them into a prototype planning model with GANTTPLAN. This covered around 230 requirement points, all of which were reliably demonstrated within the standard functionality of APS GANTTPLAN Expert. With a coverage rate exceeding 80 percent, we decided to integrate this solution into our existing IT infrastructure.”

“By integrating employee scheduling, we can now respond more quickly and flexibly to staffing changes. This enables us to provide realistic estimates of labor hours, leading to much more accurate planning & scheduling and, consequently, more precise delivery dates.”

“The new system operates very quickly. When needed, we can create a new plan within half an hour. This agility keeps us ahead of the curve, allowing us to effortlessly react to unexpected issues in production."

"DUALIS provided excellent guidance throughout the proof of concept, which was crucial for ensuring a fast and seamless implementation with the right interface. The PoC allowed us to complete a significant portion of the project work in advance. It helped us uncover weaknesses, assess potential risks, and estimate costs. The test also confirmed that all our requirements could be met with GANTTPLAN."

“We use GANTTPLAN across all manufacturing areas, allowing us to respond much faster to unexpected events in production and changing demand situations. The scenario mode, which enables simulations with altered conditions, is particularly helpful in optimizing our planning and scheduling.”

“Within seconds, GANTTPLAN provides us with an optimal and feasible production plan. This allows our employees to focus on specialized tasks that cannot be handled by machines or software. The greatest advantage of using a production scheduling software is the prevention of resource overbooking.”
