We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Smart Scheduling, a powerful new feature in our Digital Ops Excellence Platform designed to transform how manufacturing companies optimize production and achieve operations excellence. Built with the needs of dynamic industries in mind, Smart Scheduling empowers you to drive real-time output, align production plans with actual performance, and ensure precision through automated SKU plan benchmarking.
Why Smart Scheduling Matters
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, where global tariff pressures and rising demand challenge profitability, staying agile and efficient is critical. Smart Scheduling addresses these demands by delivering:
Automated SKU Separation and Benchmarking: Automatically identify and separate running SKUs, ensuring accurate benchmarking against the right production plan, reducing errors, and enhancing flexibility.
Real-Time Output Optimization: Monitor and adjust production schedules dynamically to maximize throughput and minimize downtime, ensuring you meet customer demands on time.
Production Plan vs. Actual Insights: Track planned versus actual performance with high-resolution data, identifying discrepancies instantly to keep operations on track.
Real-World Impact
One of Auk clients in manufacturing was facing fluctuating orders for multiple SKUs. Smart Scheduling’s real-time data integration allows planners to adjust schedules on the fly, avoiding overproduction or stockouts. By comparing planned versus actual output, one client identified a bottleneck in their bottling line, increasing throughput by 12% within weeks. The automated SKU separation feature streamlined their multi-product runs, cutting changeover times by 15% and ensuring precise performance tracking.
