Introduction
The Fluentis planning module is an integrated system designed to manage various crucial aspects of production planning, such as General Planning, Finite Capacity Scheduling, Material Requirements Planning (MRP), and management of Planned Orders.
General planning in Fluentis adopts an infinite capacity approach, offering flexibility in scheduling operations without considering physical constraints. It uses the earliest logic to start operations immediately and latest to plan them as late as possible while respecting deadlines.
Finite capacity scheduling is a tool designed to optimize the management of productive resources within a manufacturing company, taking into account the physical limitations of resources and creating realistic and achievable production plans.
The MRP system facilitates the analysis of material and resource availability, proposing effective strategies to optimize both the purchase and use of materials, with the aim of improving productivity and reducing waste. Planned orders, which can be generated automatically or manually, allow for the advanced management of business needs, offering flexibility in modifying details such as production dates.
Overall, the Fluentis system addresses the challenges of production management by integrating advanced techniques to optimize efficiency and operational costs.
Area Modules
MS - Master Scheduling
Operates at infinite capacity and allows scheduling operations both earliest and latest. These flexible approaches enable optimized management of production needs and processing times.
Enables the analysis of material and resource availability, optimizing inventory and production management through suggestions to expedite, integrate, or cancel orders. This system improves operational efficiency by reducing inventory levels.
Optimizes the management of productive resources by considering the actual capacities of the company, allowing the creation of realistic production plans that limit downtime and improve operational efficiency.
Allows efficient creation and management of production, purchase, and work order planned orders.
Allows for the transformation of planned production, purchase, and work orders into actual production orders, purchase requests, and work orders.
