Real-Time Adjustments to increase Planner Productivity!


Increased planner productivity

through one cockpit from which all

planning adjustments are made in

real-time

Real-Time capacity overviews

Drag and drop adjustments to

Procurement, customer service,

sales (ATP) activities always in line

with the actual status on the floor

(unlike paper plan boards)

Integrated for seamless real-time

planning

Benefits

Today’s global economy is challenging for many industries. Customers demand fast and efficient

deliveries, which put productivity margins under pressure. Challenges faced include a lack of

insight into resource capacity and availability.

Shifting production orders between resources

is complicated; real-time, accurate and in-one-

screen planning; optimizing production

changeover times to facilitate maintenance

and combining anonymous production and

To-Order assembly and more.

Efficient production planning and scheduling

help you to overcome some of today’s chal-

lenges. With Dynamics Software Graphical

Planning & Scheduling you are ready for

tomorrow, today.

Dynamics Graphical Planning and Scheduling

provides a real-time overview of your planned

capacity per resource and allows easy drag

and drop modifications to the plan.

Introducing Dynamics Graphical Planning & Scheduling

1



enables planners to work on multiple screens

and drag the orders from the unplanned

order overview and drop or allocate them to

a resource with capacity on another screen.

With our solution, a clear and detailed

overview is presented of all activities

planned. Your planner can keep an eye

on all relevant data presented on one

screen which consists of three sections:

A filter and setup section for selecting

the resources and the period to show

A graphical section where the capacity

reservations are shown.

A data section which shows the detail of

the reservations sorted per origin

The filter and setup section lets you decide

which resources are shown for which period

and how you want them to be visualized.

Different planners can set their own prefe-

rences for their resource selections.

The graphical section of the screen allows

you to view and optimize the planning. It is

very easy to drag a job to another time or

outline Details per job are readily available

by zooming in on production route or project.


manages the capacity reservations from

the production control module, the master

planning module, the project management

and Accounting module as well as Dynamics

Service Management and Dynamics

Maintenance Management.

All Relevant Data on One Screen

also allows users to define their own text on

the scheduled activities as well as the tooltip

that is shown when hovering over the diffe-

rent scheduled activities.

Each production order or project is displayed

with its own color for easy recognition of

related reservations and additional infor-

mation per reservation is shown in the

graphical overview. From here, you can also

easily create calendar deviations. The color

definition of the production order and the

project activities can be defined on multiple

levels, such as customer, item, project, etc.

For human resources, it is possible to register

planned absences concerning a project so

follow up and registration is possible. The

data part of Dynamics Graphical Planning &

Scheduling gives you details on the capacity

reservations and the access to the functions

associated with this data.

For production orders, releasing and starting

can be done from the planning overview. You

also have immediate access to the required

materials and the posted transactions.

In addition to this, a production operation can

be locked in place to prevent it from being

moved. The planner also has an overview of

the jobs that are likely to finish too late.

With all information available from a single

planning screen, much time is saved while

production scheduling becomes more

efficient.

Supply Chain Information

Especially industries that work on customer

orders do need accurate information from the

sales order to match the delivery information,

but also from the purchasing department to

ensure the on-time production and delivery.


not only displays current information on the

production capacity and resource schedules

but also on the related information of the

customer, delivery date, requested date, total

quantity required and so on.

Simulation Capabilities

Sometimes it is not as simple as just drag and

drop, and a planner just needs more tools to

optimize the planning. Therefore, simulation

capabilities are available to support what-if

planning scenarios before the plan becomes

actual. If your what-if has been optimized, it is

just one click away from the actual optimiza-

tion of the entire planning. Have the system

validates for you to see if there are any errors

or issues, save the results, and then you are

done! The graphical planner will update all

scheduling changes that have been made at

once.

Not happy with the simulated result? Just

erase it, and the schedule is back to its original

state, start simulating again.

Many customers across the globe benefit

from the efficiency improvement capabi-

lities of Dynamics Graphical Planning &

Scheduling because it is easy-to-use, simple

to implement and a pleasure to work with.

Flexibility is the keyword when you work with

Dynamics Graphical Planning & Scheduling.

From a complete overview to check the

overall utilization to the specific detail to see

the utilization for one individual, one team,

or a group of teams or individuals: just adjust

the settings of the planning board and you

are done.

It is simple to switch between multiple views,

so you can view planning for one or multiple

weeks, for one or multiple production lines,

and so on. In horizontal view displaying a

24-hour calendar, or in strip view to view the

working hours on the calendar.
