Lean Manufacturing, Total Quality Management, Kaizen, 5s or 6s, Toyota Production System, Six Sigma . . .

These are methodologies for improving manufacturing processes. Have you thought about applying the same methodologies used for your manufacturing processes to your production planning and scheduling processes?

Planning and scheduling processes must work very closely with operations to achieve synergy and equilibrium. Your operations team should be able to trust the production schedule was developed with operational excellence in mind and your planners and schedulers should have confidence that operations will follow the schedule. When both operations and planning work together seamlessly waste is minimized and improvements in your processes are achieved:

  • Customers receive orders on time
  • Costs go down
  • Employee engagement increases
  • Efficiencies and yields improve
  • Company profits go up

These improvements are direct results of achieving synergy between planning, scheduling and operations.
