BACKGROUND
An ice cream manufacturing line need optimized production planning, resource allocation, and scheduling, for which we implemented Opcenter APS.
CHALLENGE
- Manual production scheduling and planning
- Managing multiple flavors, stock keeping units, and packaging formats
- Capacity constraints across processing and filling lines
- Frequent schedule changes due to demand fluctuations
- Limited visibility of production resources and workloads
- Difficulty achieving on-time production and delivery targets
APPROACH
Data Integration
Integrated production orders, inventory, resources, and demand data into a centralized planning environment.
Capacity Modeling
Defined processing, freezing, filling, and packaging capacities with resource constraints.
Planning & Scheduling
Implemented finite-capacity scheduling and optimized production sequencing.
Monitor & Execute
Enabled real-time schedule monitoring and production tracking.
Continuous Improvement
Used analytics and what-if scenario planning for ongoing optimization.
