Production planning and control

Maximizing productivity, minimizing costs, and ensuring smooth workflows for seamless production operations.

Production planning and control (PPC), a component of supply chain management, has the responsibility of ensuring that customer requirements are met promptly, in the appropriate amounts, with the best possible use of the industrial resources at hand, and with the least amount of inventory. The special difficulty comes from the competing goals of high capacity utilisation and minimal inventory. Finding the best middle ground based on supply chain strategy and digitization tools is crucial in this situation.

We are aware that conventional methods of scheduling and shop floor control are frequently ineffective and counterproductive.  Where others fail to reliably establish control system components in your existing system, we can:

  • Reduce the overdue backlogs, Slash lead times
  • Increase timely deliveries Establish customer-driven shop floor work priorities favour stable schedules
  • Increase the precision of projected estimated completion dates (ECDs)
  • Encourage using the "right part at the right time," especially while assembling things.
  • Decrease WIP Inventory.

We work on the Lean MRP production scheduling and control technique, which enables you to set up a lean pull system on the shop floor using your current ERP system. Many of our advisory services are also packaged into our 90 Days to On-Time Execution programme, which is an expedient, results-driven engagement.
