The key challenges for ceramics and glass manufacturers:
What to expect:
Inventory reduction
With more balanced planning and scheduling, inventory health improves, lowering finished goods inventory and better synchronizing raw material purchases. The solution’s agility also enables rapid responses to demand changes, helping to avoid unnecessary inventory and losses due to perishability.
Increased productivity
Scheduling rules will group similar items—by flavor or allergenic characteristics—reducing costly setup times. Improved synchronization cuts wait times, directly adding value to the product while maximizing the utilization of the company’s assets.
Reduced disruptions
Enhanced visibility, faster scheduling, and more accurate planning help reduce delays and stockouts by identifying issues in advance. This allows for simulations to take preventive actions and eliminate problems— all within scenarios that ensure product availability without compromising service levels.
More agility
Replanning is even more challenging than planning. A machine breakdown, rework on a component, or a change in demand for an item can create a cascading effect that requires rescheduling the entire plant. Responding quickly with a solid plan allows your team to focus on analysis and decision-making rather than just operational firefighting.
