Opcenter Planning Ultimate
Opcenter Planning Ultimate helps manufacturers translate demand forecasts and customer requirements into structured production plans. Build master production schedules across daily, weekly or monthly planning horizons, taking account of capacity, stock levels and changing demand.
With support for make-to-stock and make-to-order planning, alongside stock profile visualisations and demand scenario analysis, manufacturers can assess the impact of changes and align production plans more closely with business needs.
Planning can be executed in finite or infinite capacity mode and planning time periods can be days, weeks, months or a combination of all three.
By using Opcenter Planning, parameters can be set against each item code, which allows different calculations for each item. For example, some products may be in “Make to Stock” mode while others are in “Make to Order” mode.
Advanced planning optimises production and improves manufacturing
If used together with a Opcenter Scheduling system, detailed production schedule information can be sent back to planning system and this will override planned volume with scheduled volume. The Master Production Schedule (MPS) can then be recalculated using the production schedule as the base for the new results.
