Production Planning
Develop optimized production planning and scheduling for single or multiple plants
With shrinking product lifecycles, demand fluctuations and more granular customer segmentation, intelligent decision support for production planning and scheduling functions has never been more important. Balancing demand with the right material, capacity, and due-date constraints can efficiently align the activities of production control, manufacturing, and procurement planning, empowering you to outmaneuver the competition and satisfy customers at the right cost.

"BIC recently implemented the Blue Yonder sequencing application which we are using to generate and optimize daily production schedules for our Charlotte packaging facility. What used to be a 3-day manual rolling schedule is now an automated rolling 2-week schedule. We now have a platform that enables us to share and collaborate on a single production plan."
