Challenges in Manufacturing Planning and Optimization
Managing competing planning and optimization objectives in manufacturing can be a daunting task. Balancing supply demands with capacity constraints while dealing with unforeseen disruptions in the supply chain requires agility and precision. Logility's Manufacturing Optimization solution offers a comprehensive approach to address these challenges.
Synchronous Scheduling for Efficient Resource Utilization
One of the critical challenges in manufacturing is efficiently scheduling multiple items on the same production resource. Logility's Manufacturing Optimization solution tackles this issue with synchronous scheduling, allowing concurrent scheduling of items with identical start and end times. This optimization technique enhances resource utilization and minimizes idle time, leading to increased productivity.
