"The Money is in the Planning”

Concept for infographic:
Image of factory with money leaking out of their vault due to the reasons below.

Without effective planning for factories, hard-fought margin and profit are lost. These are the most common ways that manual spreadsheet planning and scheduling systems undermine manufacturing profitability and growth.

Lost sales due to late deliveries or long lead times: Customers go to other suppliers for faster, more reliable delivery when manufacturers can’t streamline flow and delivery on-time.

Capacity wasted due to change-overs and cleanouts: Failure to sequence work efficiently can cause a 10% or more effective capacity lost every month

Overtime cost to catch-up during bottleneck periods: If work is not done when capacity allows then expensive, reactive overtime is used.

Expedited shipping due to late production: When orders complete late or almost late, expensive shipping may be the only option left.

Planning team costs due to inefficient manual spreadsheet planning: With manual, error-prone systems chaotic, reactive production management wastes time of your most valuable people.

Inventory carrying costs escalate: Inefficient planning leads to producing WIP or buying material too early

Output reduced due to interruptive maintenance: Preventive maintenance interferes with customer satisfaction when not planned in concert with production.
