Use Case Solution - Retrofit Planning

Retrofit Planning

Speed-up the implementation of modifications to your production planning while maintaining cost optimization.

Overview

Cosmo Tech Plan enables project and program managers in Manufacturing Industry to optimize planning and take into consideration multiple factors such as resource leveling, crash tests, daily monitoring, contingency plans and sensitivity analysis.

With our solution, they can easily create a dynamic Simulation Digital Twin of their organization reflecting all interconnected planning data (PPM tools and structured data), business processes and rules (human resources, variable or fixed task duration) into one tool, allowing them to make informed, optimal decisions to optimize planning.

Features

Crash test

Assess the feasibility of a retrofit planning by running simulations, analyzing global and local issues and testing various action levers to build a realistic and reliable plan.

Resource leveling

Schedule tasks according to their constraints & inter-dependencies and adjust resources to prevent over-allocation and save time.

Planning sensitivity analysis

Analyze the sensitivity of your planning by running several simulations at once, each introducing pre-configured unexpected events. Assess planning resilience via aggregated KPIs and analyze the impact of your mitigation plan.

Planning execution management

Update the planning regularly (delayed tasks, current resource states...), identify potential bottlenecks and test decisions quickly. Increase decision reliability and save time by considering all business processes and resource constraints.

Human Resources

Consider team availability during the whole project. Complex calendars can be taken into account.

Variable / Fixed Task Duration

Choose between variable or fixed units and different durations to better account for the nature of an activity thus ensuring a realistic planning.

What-if scenario comparison

Design & simulate strategies to predict the impact of your decisions on the whole organization.

Teams with multiple calendars

Represent team availability in a precise way by taking different calendars and work rhythms into account.

Dynamic priority evolution

Execute tasks by order of total float to limit their impact on planning duration. If relevant, priorities can increase during the project based on their decreasing total float.

Other Use Case Solutions for Manufacturing
