The benefits of Advanced Planning and Scheduling for Industrial Machinery

Manufacturing production planning and scheduling can be challenging during standard operations.

Factor in demand for faster delivery timelines and a delicate global supply chain, planning and scheduling quickly becomes overwhelming.

Production planners and schedulers can’t keep using traditional tools and expect to get the same results efficiently. They need new manufacturing optimization tools.

The differences between manufacturing planning and scheduling

The difference between manufacturing planning and scheduling comes down to long-term versus short-term. Planning is about the future, and scheduling is about the here and now.

Manufacturing planners consider a variety of questions like how much to make and what materials and other resources are required to do so.

Manufacturing schedulers consider questions like what is the most efficient process to make something and how to monitor the execution of that assembly.
