Brief Overview
JDA Factory Planner is designed to provide intelligent decision support for production planning and scheduling functions. The solution helps develop optimized production plans for a single plant or multiple plants departments work cells or production lines by scheduling backward from the requirement date and forward from the current date while simultaneously considering material capacity and due date constraints. The solution streamlines and aligns the activities of production control manufacturing and procurement planning teams by automating mundane tasks and shifting the focus to more important functions. By using JDA Factory Planner your planners and schedulers can intelligently improve manufacturing facility performance to meet business objectives such as enhancing due-date performance educing lead times improving throughput and decreasing inventory and operating expenses.
Benefits include:
Improved manufacturing efficiencies across the supply chain by institutionalizing a repeatable production planning process
Reduced manufacturing cycle times inventory levels and response times to customer demand
Improved throughput and reduced waste due to planners coordinating production plans with material and capacity constraints
Ability to quickly react to interruptions in execution with rapid response capability
Lean and efficient enterprise driven by synchronized planning and execution
