Current trends of cost reduction in manufacturing are aimed at lowering inventory levels with rapid response to customer demands. Therefore, companies are forced to find ways to optimize production operations by eliminating or. shortening activities that do not add value – eg. settings. Detection of potential problems enables appropriate decisions to balance the needs and capacities.

Planning work is not easy. There are urgent orders, delays due to lack of the supply of materials as well as the removal, the need for re-treatment and the failure of production resources can have a significant impact on the efficiency and consequently the promised delivery date. Especially in companies with subscription-oriented production, reduction of costs and usage of resources is critical. ERP system, table and wall panels are simply not enough anymore.
