Explaining three perspectives and practical methods to optimize production planning for small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses that want to prevent inventory shortages and delivery delays.
In the manufacturing site, if the production volume and schedule forecasts are unclear, it can lead to inventory shortages or surpluses, delays in processes, and missed deadlines. This document organizes the basics of production planning and the differences from manufacturing planning, explaining three key points for optimization: "management of the 4Ms," "flexible planning," and "rolling plans." Additionally, it introduces useful tools for planning, such as PERT charts, Gantt charts, production management systems, and production schedulers. In the latter half, it features the utilization of the production management system "FUSE" for visualization of progress and information, systematization of operations, and case studies. It is recommended for site leaders and personnel who want to rethink and implement production planning. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

Applications/Examples of results
You can use it for planning and reviewing production schedules, addressing inventory shortages or delays, visualizing process progress, and considering a transition from Excel and paper-based management. In case studies, a press processing and sheet metal processing company visualized the overall production plan and reduced delivery delays by one-third. A precision medical device parts processing company reduced management time by one-fourth and halved work arrangements. Additionally, we have published examples of business improvements in small and medium-sized manufacturing industries, such as metal bending processing and precision machine parts processing. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
