The project
Aims of the project
- Automating the feasibility analysis
- Creating a dialogue between need for and availability of materials
- Monitoring that deadlined are met for in-house semi-finished, outsourced and supplied products
"We have achieved a savings of 15 hours per week of low added value work of a line planner with the added advantage of having data that is always up to date and reports produced automatically, which favors the exchange of information among the production departments."
