Optimal planning and scheduling

Competitiveness of each enterpriser is given by quality of satisfaction of his customers’ requirements and efficiency of his resources exploitation. Both of these attributes can be improved by planning using modern optimization technologies based on operating research methods and artificial intelligence.

Methods for optimal planning and scheduling can significantly improve efficiency, quality and determinism:

• manufacturing and technological processes
• material and goods transport
• maintenance
• services
• human resource utilization
• material, energy and storage utilization
• investments decision

The environment where you are conducting business is rather hard to formally describe, your customers requirements are often very miscellaneous and complicated are also technical and organization constraints related to your business. It is necessary to consider all this constraints and requirements during planning. When the planning is conducted by experienced employee, he surely knows all these constraints. Whether he is able to consider them in the designed plan and whether is this plan near to the optimum is given by the combinatorial complexity of this plan which often exceeds human capabilities. It is therefore appropriate to provide your employees by software tool for optimal planning, which suitably supplement his abilities, automates the planning process and improve the optimality of the plan (in the meaning of lower cost and higher quality).

These days are methods of optimal planning implemented in complex tools. To achieve improvement of efficiency and quality of your manufacturing and logistic processes, however, needs more than buy sophisticated software. It is necessary to adapt it to concrete needs of your company.
