Plan Smarter. Adapt Faster.
In manufacturing, no single planning strategy fits every situation. That’s why factory.online empowers you with a multi-scenario planning engine that lets you model, simulate, and adapt your production plan in real time.
Whether you prefer Just-in-Time (JIT) to reduce inventory or As-Soon-As-Possible (ASAP) to maximize throughput, the system adapts to your reality.
Why Multi-Scenario Planning?
Markets shift. Suppliers delay. Orders change. A static plan becomes obsolete in hours.
factory.online lets you model different planning approaches:
Compare outcomes
Identify bottlenecks
Choose the best-fit strategy
Supported Planning Scenarios
Just-in-Time (JIT)
Plan production as close to due date as possible
Reduces frozen inventory and warehouse space
Ideal for make-to-order or short-shelf-life products
As-Soon-As-Possible (ASAP)
Utilizes all near-term available capacity
Pulls future orders forward if there’s free machine time
Maximizes shopfloor utilization
Hybrid Rules & Priority Models
Prioritize VIP customers for ASAP, others for JIT
Define mixed strategies based on lead time or order type
Smart Algorithms. Real Impact.
The planner can:
Run simulations across weeks/months
Model new machines, overtime, or alternate shifts
See the effect of delayed materials or constrained labor
The system checks:
Material availability (based on forecast, PO, lead times)
Capacity per work center
Labor qualification & load
Visual Insights
Weekly load charts
Material constraint highlights
Scenario comparisons side-by-side
Benefits
Make fast, confident scheduling decisions
Align production with real-world limitations
Reduce chaos from sudden changes
Simulate it. Compare it. Choose it. Execute it. All in one system.
