Planning Management

The Objective Planning Management module enables the possibility to follow-up and manipulate the production planning. To streamline the production planning and execution, Objective offers the option of creating planning cells. Planning cells cluster a number of resources (machines and work centers) in a planning scope.

The planner can follow the planning of production operations and their status in real-time on the graphic planning board (Gantt chart) for each planning cell. A lot of options are offered to customize the visualization and improve the readability of the planning board. The planner is offered maximum flexibility in updating the planning using actions like moving individual jobs in time or to other resources, freezing operations, adding or updating job dependencies, planning unavailable time or downtimes. Every manipulation will automatically take the job dependencies and the production calendar (working shifts) into account to guarantee a correct production planning.
