Better production requires better planing.
GANTTPLAN complements existing ERP systems as a third generation planning tool (Advanced Planning and Scheduling System = > APS) in the fine planing of production. By displaying a familiar Gantt diagram, the planning proves to be extremely user-friendly and allows planners full freedom of action.

Case study
By using GANTTPLAN, either as an add-on to existing systems or as a "stand-alone" solution, small and medium-sized enterprises achieve greater efficiency, transparency and reliability in the course of the order, so that in the entire planning process a cost optimization arises. Applications can be found in the ERP, MES, BDE/MDE and time economy sectors. They can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems.
GanttPlan comes with a predefined data structure (see right) that can be used to map production conditions. Each master data position offers many customization options that can be considered if needed.
The familiar representation of a Gantt diagram proves that planning is extremely user-friendly. Effects can be quickly seen and give the user a full overview of resources:
production plan on all production orders
secondary and primary relationships
all defined capacities and production restrictions
order networks
termination delays if feedback is missing
disruptions are deposited and observed at the next planning run
color schemes
The intelligent planning algorithm assigns orders only to machines with spare capacity, or only if the required materials, employees and/or equipment are available. In this way, the different planning levels or departments can be optimally harmonized and coordinated. This will help planners identify bottlenecks or conflicts that lead to schedule delays at an early stage.
GANTTPLAN also impress with the following characteristic:
Definition and weighting of 7 different optimization goals
Attention to secondary and primary relationships
Restriction test with real-time algorithm and conflict analysis
Compliance with all production restrictions defined in the planning model
Use of material demand planning with extended reports
Solution options proposed by GANTTPLAN can be independently checked for changes, so that the planner is given full freedom of action before the final order plan is released. This allows him almost playfully:
import the plan scenario and unplanned orders from the leading ERP systems
manual drag and drop planning of orders
visualization of the scheduled plan scenario in the control center
access and maintenance of master data
using integrated reporting
forward and backward planning
After order call for appointments, planners can view the result visualization in an individual way in the graphical control center and use an experiment manager to simulate additional appearance/requirements in order to provide dynamic statements about their delivery dates and resource utilization. This allows the planner to work quickly and comfortably.
With GANTTPLAN, identified plans can be turned into reality at the touch of a button. GANTTPLAN helps with documentation through tabular and graphic evaluations, such as capacity mountains, creation of its own reports, etc.
Required resources are clearly displayed depending on each other. This means that there are different production scenarios for all resources on one platform.
Machines, employees, manufacturing aids, campaigns, qualities, etc. are always an overview.
