Intelligent planning and production dispatching

Abstract

Intelligent production planning should be considered not as a separate software module, but as a holistic management concept, within which a manufacturing enterprise moves periodic compilation of static schedules to continuous analysis of the state of resources, orders, material flows and risks. In the traditional approach, the plan was often fixed for a certain calendar period and changed only after a significant deviation, while the modern environment requires constant readiness for restructuring. Such an environment is characterized by shorter product life cycles, an increase in the share of individual orders, instability of supply, complexity of technological routes and the need to simultaneously control cost, quality, deadlines and flexibility. That is why planning can no longer be just an administrative procedure; it becomes a tool for the strategic sustainability of the enterprise.
