Cloud-based Manufacturing Optimization Solution to Help Bridge Gap Between Demand Planning and Production Scheduling

ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Velocity2019?src=hash" target="_blank"gt;#Velocity2019lt;/agt;–Demand Management, Inc., a leading global resource for cloud-based supply chain management solutions, announced today the general availability of its new SaaS-based Manufacturing Optimization solution. The announcement came at the company’s 2019 Velocity conference bringing together customers, industry thought leaders, and supply chain visionaries.

Demand Solutions® Manufacturing Optimization is designed to identify the most effective use of a company’s production resources given business objectives and network constraints. The solution uses a configurable engine that considers algorithmic planning and business rules spanning demand, supply, machine, personnel, tooling, and inventory constraints while creating achievable production plans. It then produces optimized shop schedules that keep customers happy while reducing costs.

Bridging the gap between demand planning and production scheduling, Demand Solutions Manufacturing Optimization combines short-term detailed scheduling with longer range capacity planning and modeling to simultaneously solve multiple, complex constraints and model the real-world environment. This visual planning and scheduling solution enables users to identify and resolve potential problems before they occur. Its innovative visual design provides a menu structure using progressive disclosure to help streamline processes and maximize user productivity.

Manufacturing Optimization is a native-cloud application, available by subscription, built to take advantage of the Microsoft Azure platform. The SaaS platform allows for running the solution in-memory, solving complex constraint problems quickly while providing real-time feedback to your planners. Customers can not only work with real-time data, but also mine that data for insights and manage their business proactively.

“As part of the Demand Solutions platform, Manufacturing Optimization provides a fully integrated cloud-based solution to meet the demand, supply, and manufacturing planning requirements of manufacturers,” said Bill Harrison, president of Demand Management, Inc. “The highly visual user experience will boost planner productivity and increase business confidence by creating achievable production plans.”
