From Supply Plan to Factory Action

Session 3 of Planning to Execution, Reimagined

A supply plan that cannot reach the factory floor is just a document. In this session, Dr. Jorg Kastrup and Joe Slater connect supply planning to factory scheduling, production management, and shop-floor execution.  

When material is late, a line goes down, or labor is constrained, Orchestration Center closes the loop, feeding real-time factory signals back into the plan automatically.

What you’ll learn:

• Why the gap between supply plans and shop-floor execution persists, and what it costs in delays and added cost
• How factory signals connect back to the planning system in real time
• What coordinated response looks like when material, labor, or capacity constraints hit
• How to keep the plan and the floor running on the same information
