Production Planning
Develop optimized production planning and scheduling for single or multiple plants
With shrinking product lifecycles, demand fluctuations and more granular customer segmentation, organizations like yours depend on intelligent decision support for their essential production planning and scheduling functions. Discover how to better balance demand with material, capacity and due-date constraints so you can efficiently align your production control, manufacturing, and procurement planning. Because with the right solutions, you’ll be able to out maneuver the competition and keep your customers happy – all at the right cost.

"BIC recently implemented the Blue Yonder sequencing application which we are using to generate and optimize daily production schedules for our Charlotte packaging facility. What used to be a 3-day manual rolling schedule is now an automated rolling 2-week schedule. We now have a platform that enables us to share and collaborate on a single production plan."
