Planning

Optessa MLP or a combination of Optessa MLP and Optessa MLS can be applied to a variety of planning problems in the auto industry.

Regional planning

Multi-plant planning at a regional level considers inputs from:
  • Demand forecasts
  • Marketing rules and constraints – regional / dealer allocations and rules
  • Production capacities – in-house and suppliers
  • Material, plant and labor constraints
Scheduling of forecast and actual / fixed orders
  • Order selection
  • Assignment to plant and monthly / weekly / daily bins
  • Regional and dealer constraints and allocations
  • Supplier / in-house capacities
  • Plant and labor constraints
Order substitution
  • Matching and substitution of forecast with actual orders
Critical constraint checking and optimization
  • Long lead time and capacity constrained parts: in-house and suppliers
Forecast order generation
  • Valid order configuration templates
  • Feature or equipment mix forecasts
  • Important material, plant and labor constraints
  • Important marketing rules and constraints
Benefits
  • Optimize against all supplier, in-house, plant and labor constraints
  • Stability for material planning
  • Multi-plant and multi-line balancing
  • Combined planning and sequencing
  • Increased flexibility and reduced response times
  • Increase number of total orders selected
  • Increase % of actual orders selected
  • Better matching during order substitution
