FOR MULTI-SITE BATCH MANUFACTURERS

When the world changes your plans should bend, not break.

Next-generation planning and scheduling software that absorbs everyday change and recovers quickly from bigger disruptions. 

We call it Dynamic Stability. Your planners will call it a quiet Monday.

Built with and trusted by leading manufacturers

THE PROBLEM

Most manufacturers end up planning alongside their systems, not through them.

No plan stays stable. Demand, supply and capacity keep changing, and most supply chains aren’t set up to absorb change. The network demand drifts from the factory plan, the plan from the schedule, and the settings from how operations run. Planners close each gap by hand. The cost shows up in four places:

Excess stock or unreliable supply

The supply network isn’t in sync with the factory. Sites order with no agreed rules on timing or quantity, so orders arrive uncoordinated and poorly grouped. Unless adjusted manually, this causes excess stock, waste and unreliable plans for suppliers.

Unworkable plans and wasted capacity

Planning and scheduling run separately and aren’t governed by the same rules. The plan is always an approximation of the schedule, so it often builds in a safety margin, which leaves capacity unused.

Constant firefighting and replanning

The settings behind the plan, like batch sizes, buffers and run rates, are chosen once and rarely revisited, so they become disconnected from operational reality. That causes constant exceptions, leaving planners manually reworking plans and schedules.

Rising costs from unplanned changes

Nobody has agreed which rules can flex, how far, or when to step in. Decisions are made on the spot, and the plan changes more than it needs to, adding extra work and cost.

SUPPLYVUE’S APPROACH: DYNAMIC PLANNING

Stability isn’t something you enforce on a plan. It’s something you design into it.

With Dynamic Planning, your team sets a clear policy framework in advance. SupplyVue backs the policies with the right buffers, and the plan and schedule follow the same framework, so the factory and its network stay synchronised. When a bigger change is needed, agreed rules set how the framework adapts for minimal disruption, so operations recover quickly.

That’s Dynamic Stability: a supply chain that is stable enough to trust and flexible enough to adapt.

Planning through your systems, not spreadsheets

Less waste and better use of assets

Better service with less inventory

THE PLATFORM

The latest supply chain thinking, in one connected platform

At its core is one policy framework that connects your factory, network, plan and schedule. Everything works to the same rules, so planning happens in the software, not in spreadsheets.

  • One production rhythm for the whole network. The whole network works to the factory’s drumbeat, with buffers absorbing everyday change.
  • Integrated planning and scheduling. A seamless handoff, so frozen periods stay short.
  • Settings that stay up to date. Fewer exceptions and less manual work for planners.
  • Agreed rules for the unexpected. SupplyVue proposes the least disruptive response, within limits your team sets.
How it works

WHERE SUPPLYVUE SITS

SupplyVue bridges the gap between long-term planning and the factory floor.

Every business plans many months ahead, and every factory runs to a schedule. The weeks in between, where demand, supply and capacity change, are the most underserved part of planning. SupplyVue is built for that gap: it turns the monthly plan you have into a weekly plan and a daily schedule that hold as conditions change.

AI WITH GUARDRAILS

AI built on the right foundations

Many tools put AI on top of existing planning processes, without the structure it needs to work well. SupplyVue builds that structure first: one policy framework that integrates planning and scheduling, keeps the supply network in sync and sets predefined rules for exceptions, so AI only works within the limits your team has agreed. Plans aren’t just more automated; they’re better quality too.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Stable plans, lower costs and better service

40%

Lower inventory
Reduce costs while protecting customer service.

HOW IT’S ACHIEVED

Each site orders to agreed rules, and stock levels are set from the latest data. Stock is held where it’s needed, not everywhere “to be safe”.

20%

More reliable production
Keep production on schedule with plans the factory can actually run.

HOW IT’S ACHIEVED

The plan and the schedule follow the same policy framework, and buffers absorb everyday changes, so the factory gets a feasible plan it can run and keep to.

30%

Shorter lead times
Respond faster to changes in demand, supply and capacity.

HOW IT’S ACHIEVED

Each product has a regular slot in the production rhythm. Changes are absorbed in its next slot, so plans stay stable and frozen periods can be shorter.

15%

Shorter changeovers
Switch between products faster to free up more production time.

HOW IT’S ACHIEVED

Products that use the same equipment are grouped and made one after another. Each switch is between similar products, which takes less time.
“Thanks to SupplyVue, we’ve eliminated the bullwhip effect. Our stock levels didn’t rise as we recovered from the pandemic’s panic buying. We now collaborate across the supply chain, using insight from analytics and end-to-end visibility to keep a smooth, even flow of products to our customers.”
