How many hours does a plant lose due to poor planning?
More than it seems. Lack of materials, unnecessary changes, overproduction, and administrative tasks that add no value are the daily reality in many plants.
To solve this we developed Concorde, our intelligent Micro-Planning tool that:
- Sequence automatically manufacturing orders.
- Synchronize departments in real time.
- Reduces changeover times and strikes due to lack of materials.
- Eliminates administrative work and improves decision-making.
Because planning isn't just about moving orders up and down: It's about ensuring that the entire plant moves in the same direction, with the right information and without waste.
Optimizing the planning of a production plant
What does Concorde do?
- Automatically sequences manufacturing orders.
- Synchronize all departments in real time.
- It reduces changeover times and downtime due to lack of materials.
- It eliminates administrative work and improves decision-making.
- It offers complete visibility of the status of each order and material.
How Concorde improves your planning
- Unified planning that integrates materials, capacity, and priorities into a single visual panel.
- Optimized production flow to avoid stoppages, bottlenecks and overproduction.
- Faster decision making thanks to real-time updated data.
- Error Reduction through automation and elimination of manual tasks.
- Total coordination between Production, Logistics, Purchasing and Operations.
The Reality of Planning Management without Workflow
The goal is not to plan more. It's to plan better. When the entire plant works with the same information:
- Errors decrease
- Times are reduced
- Productivity increases
Concorde allows each department to move in the same direction, without waste or unnecessary tasks.
Concorde structure
Concorde connects Production, Logistics, Purchasing, and Operations in real time, ensuring that everyone works with the same information and without repetitive administrative tasks.
Why do plants fail to meet the schedule?
Delays, emergencies, and cost overruns don't stem from isolated errors: they are a consequence of structural problems.
Planning often fails due to a lack of rigor, constant changes in priorities, slow tools, incomplete information, and departments that work disconnected from each other.
Without a reliable model, each area replans by intuition and the plant enters a permanent cycle of emergencies.
The most common structural causes
- The importance of rigorous planning is not acknowledged.
- Salespeople change priorities without analysis.
- There is no suitable model or algorithm (it depends on the default ERP).
- The tool is not agile and nobody replans in response to changes.
- Poorly sized factory and extreme variability in load.
- Capacity losses: breakdowns, lack of materials, absenteeism.
- Unknown standard times and different methods among operators.
- Excessive complexity: too many variations, references, and customization.
- Information arrives late and departments don't share data.
- External factors: suppliers, transportation, volatility, and disruptive customers.
How Concorde addresses these issues
Concorde is designed to eliminate randomness and return control to planning:
- Unify the planning in a single visual panel.
- Synchronize Production, Logistics, Purchasing, and Operations in real time.
- Avoid improvised changes and trade boycotts.
- Reduce emergencies and extra costs with intelligent sequencing.
- It provides rigor, method, and total visibility of the status of each order.
- Eliminates administrative work and allows replanning in seconds.
Conclusion
Disturbances will always exist.
What changes with Concorde is its impactThe plant stops operating in emergency mode and management regains control over the production flow.
Lack of control over planning is a lack of governance. Concorde restores that control.
Benefits of Implementing Concorde
- Increased productivity and optimized use of resources.
- Improved visibility and control of the production flow.
- Reduction of costs associated with waste and downtime.
- Agility in decision-making, thanks to the automation of planning.
- More reliable adherence to delivery deadlines, increasing customer satisfaction.
Concorde transforms industrial planning into a process efficient, agile and optimized, ensuring that each production is carried out with the utmost care. accuracy and profitability.
