Graphic control center – efficiency through transparency

GANTTPLAN’s intuitive Gantt chart interface makes planning remarkably user-friendly and efficient. The visual representation provides users with a comprehensive overview of resources and workflows, enabling quick insights and effective decision-making. Key features include:

  • Production Plans: Detailed scheduling for all production orders.

  • Relationships: Clear visualization of primary and secondary dependencies.

  • Resource Management: Show of all defined capacities and production constraints.

  • Order Networks: Insight into interlinked order structures.

  • Delay Tracking: Identification of delays caused by missing feedback.

  • Disruption Management: Documentation and monitoring of disruptions during later planning cycles.

  • Customizable Visuals: Flexible color schemes for enhanced clarity and focus.

Manage orders and resources intelligently

Optimization goals

GANTTPLAN’s intelligent planning algorithm ensures efficient resource allocation. It assigns orders only to machines with available capacity. This happens when required materials, staff, and equipment are accessible.This approach fosters seamless coordination across planning levels and departments. It enables planners to find bottlenecks or conflicts early. They can then mitigate potential scheduling delays.

Key features of GANTTPLAN include:

  • Customizable Optimization Goals: Define and rank up to 7 optimization objectives to align with production strategies.

  • Relationship Management: Account for both primary and secondary dependencies during planning.

  • Real-Time Conflict Analysis: Instantly detect and resolve scheduling conflicts using advanced restriction tests.

  • Adherence to Production Constraints: Guarantee compliance with all predefined restrictions in the planning model.

  • Advanced Material Planning: Leverage material demand planning with detailed reporting capabilities for informed decision-making.

Manual adjustment

GANTTPLAN gives planners full control and flexibility over the planning process. It allows them to independently review and adjust proposed solutions. This happens before they finish the order schedule. With its intuitive interface, planners can easily:

  • Integrate with ERP Systems: Import plan scenarios and unplanned orders from leading ERP platforms.

  • Manual Planning: Use drag-and-drop functionality to rearrange and optimize orders.

  • Visualize Plans: View detailed plan scenarios in the centralized control center for better oversight.

  • Master Data Management: Access and update master data seamlessly.

  • Comprehensive Reporting: Leverage integrated reporting tools for enhanced decision-making.

  • Flexible Scheduling: Execute both forward and backward planning to align with production needs.

Working with graphical control center

GANTTPLAN offers planners a highly interactive and efficient planning experience. After scheduling orders, results can be visualized in a customizable graphical control center. Using the integrated experiment manager, planners can simulate extra scenarios. These scenarios include changing demands or resource availability. This allows them to dynamically assess delivery timelines and resource utilization. This flexibility enables planners to make informed decisions quickly and effortlessly while maintaining optimal control over the planning process.
