Traditional planning system |
Innovative system of production planning |
| 1. Planning Base |
The use of a single universal design module to create a production plan |
Combining several modules estimated to account for different restrictions |
| 2. The ability to make changes in the planning process |
Change of the basic algorithms, or the development of additional algorithms in the planning process is not possible |
Scenario analysis makes the function change (return) possible and helps to achieve high accuracy and realism of the planning model |
| 3. Integration of the Planning Processes |
Separation of production plans and schedules, reducing the possibility of integration and automation |
Production plans and schedules can become fully integrated. It would help to see a complete picture of production operations and activities at the planning horizon |
| 4. Teamwork |
Conventional planning systems do not fully support the planning in team work. As soon as the number of system users grow, the effectiveness of production planning decreases. |
A multi-user environment allows for flexible planning to solve conflict issues directly in the system, to prevent divergent actions planners |
| 5. Planning Process management |
There are no tools to manage the team of the layout specialists |
It allows one to manage the activity of the planning group, which includes the support for monitoring and the evaluation oflayout specialists’ activities. |
