PlanetTogether

A great software tool that provides benefits way beyond planning and scheduling

Kommentare: 10 years ago I was faced with a complex medical device manufacturing environment in desperate need of a better system to plan and schedule a large variety of both internal and external manufacturing processes. The manufacturing team needed the ability to provide customers with accurate delivery dates, reduce inventory, assess the impact of resources going off line, and overall process optimization. After closely looking at several software systems I chose Planet Together because of it's ease of implementation, ease of use, and features that went way beyond my original expectations. In addition to planning and scheduling Planet provides a basis for communications among departments to maintain a focus on critical delays and a means of optimizing processes by facilitating activities such resource analysis. The ongoing support of the Planet Together team has been outstanding. I could not have achieved the great results I did without the use of the Planet Together software.

Then jobs are optimize using complex rules to help sequence the jobs in the proper Halal/Kosher/Non Kosher and Allergen order to avoid any cross contamination or extensive setup time.
