Manufacturing.

Engineering planning and execution for complex environments.

By implementing production planning systems that reflect real‑world constraints, operations reduce scrap and rework while gaining one trusted view of performance.

The Operating Constraint.

In high-mix, low-volume environments, complexity eventually outgrows manual coordination limiting flexibility, capacity, and confidence in delivery.

Planning bottlenecks.

Last‑minute scheduling in spreadsheets makes it hard to stay ahead of change, slowing decisions and cutting profit.

Hidden Trade-offs.

Sequencing, changeover, and delivery‑risk decisions are made without clear data, causing costs to surface when performance slips.

Specialist dependence.

Capacity and constraint knowledge sits with a few specialists, making operations vulnerable when they are unavailable.

Our Intervention.

We join up planning and execution into one way of working, with an automated workflow that manages workload.

Your production constraints are built into that workflow so it can weigh trade‑offs, re‑optimise schedules in real time, and guide decisions whenever conditions change.

Operational Outcomes.

What changes in production.

Faster
decisions.

Planning changes that took hours or days can be assessed in minutes, increasing responsiveness on the shop floor.

Visibile
trade-offs

Delivery risk and changeover impacts become visible and comparable, rather than implicit and hidden.

Reduced dependency.

Operational knowledge is captured in the system, reducing reliance on individuals and lowering key-person risk.

Dynamic adaptation.

The system can absorb disruption and re-optimise delivery without destabilising the production.

Case Study.

Complex Manufacturing

Digital Planning engineered a bespoke planning and execution platform that replaced fragile, expert‑led coordination with a governed, repeatable process that optimises real-time scheduling.

This gave operations a single view of orders, capacity, and constraints, reducing rescheduling, scrap, and last‑minute disruption on the shop floor.

Quality partnerships matter.

Discuss your planning constraints.

If your planning still relies on manual workarounds that limits performance, we start by mapping your constraints to understand what’s holding you back.
