Manufacturing Workbench Data Sheet

Production planning faces many challenges: fluctuating order volumes, tight deadlines, unpredictable material deliveries and long setup times driven by complex product requirements. That complexity demands detailed planning, yet makes it difficult to achieve in practice. Most ERP systems still rely on MRPII methods for production and logistics planning. These methods separate material requirements from capacity planning and are highly transaction-driven, which often limits flexibility. The Manufacturing Workbench uses advanced planning and scheduling (APS) principles. It supports interactive, simultaneous planning across materials and multiple resources, and makes it easy to simulate and optimize different scenarios.
