Production planning

With the Production Planning module, GQM MES offers a clearly organised tool for practical use in food and beverage production. The planning board provides an overview of a company-wide data compilation.

Rough and medium-term planning, detailed planning, Gantt Cockpit

The planning board is a company-wide data compilation – it combines the requirements, specifications and objectives of all departments into production orders. An overview of sales targets, stocks of raw materials and operating resources, plant allocations and much more is a prerequisite for organising production, filling and order picking and being able to react to short-term adjustments in demand. Knowing which raw materials are available, which need to be reordered soon, alternatives and delivery times is just as important as information on system statuses and maintenance intervals. Particular attention must be paid to personnel requirements and deployment planning. To enable planners to keep an eye on all this information and make well-founded decisions, GQM MES software offers a clearly organised planning tool for practical use.
