An optimal production plan is based on factual information on the status, capacity and materials of the supply chain. The goal of production planning is to open up the production flow avoiding bottlenecks and unnecessary stoppages. To be successful, production planning needs reliable real-time information on demand and material and capacity needs related to the customer order. The production flow and profitability improve when work related to the customer order has been planned based on the correct initial data.

Production planning improves the management of production disturbances and changes and increases transparency

The daily work of production planners and employees responsible for production includes solving problems related to sometimes rapidly changing production conditions. Production stoppages, material deficiencies, challenges related to demand forecasting or, for instance, human resources are factors that cause changes to planned production. In fact, the success of production planning is measured at the time of change; how fast production can be adapted to changed conditions to maintain supply security and keep up with the other targets of production.

A modern APS software enables the utilization of different scenarios. Scenarios are based on facts and help the planner see the results through different selections. Traditional Excel worksheets cannot do this; the future vision is limited to the following day at most.
