02. Product Wheel Design
Predictable scheduling for an unpredictable supply chain
Product Wheel principles bring predictability and the economies of repetition to your scheduling. Production will fall into regular, repeating cycles, extending this stability throughout the supply chain.
This gives you the ability to make confident decisions when managing rush orders, equipment failures or resource issues.
Leverage Aligned Product Wheels™
Automate scheduling
Quickly analyze advanced production scheduling options
Schedulers can create new schedules in seconds leveraging Aligned Product Wheel™ capabilities. Easily reschedule and immediately see the time and cost impacts.

03. Operating Strategy Design
Bring the boardroom to the shopfloor
Operating Strategy Design unites the boardroom with the shop floor by enabling you to synchronize cash, cost and service goals with production strategies. Evaluate trade-offs with business goals to engineer the best production designs that maximize results.
The balance and trade-offs can be different for different products and families in different regions or for different time periods in seasonal businesses.
Optimize inventory levels
Run simulations to determine optimal operating strategy
Optimize cycle times
Instant impact with the power of innovative scheduling
Changeovers and incorrect inventory levels waste significant time and money, and affect customer service. Advanced production scheduling enables you to minimize waste and align production, ensuring manufacturing is not the weak link in building a resilient supply chain.
