Logic Blocks - planeus I Planning and Control - Plan smarter. Prevent sooner.

Planning & Control

Master Data

Solves problem: Planning fails when core data is inconsistent or duplicated.

Master Data Logic Block provides a single, reliable source for articles, routings, operation templates, customers, materials, and resources.

It ensures that all planning logic is based on consistent, reusable data that can evolve with your production processes.

Planning Objects

Solves problem: Need a clear structure and scheduling logic to plan consistently.

The Planning Objects Logic Block defines orders as structured planning objects and applies the planning algorithm to schedule them automatically.

Projects, order lines, production orders, and operations remain hierarchically connected, so every plan stays coherent and traceable.

Gantt Planning

Solves problem: Planners need to understand and adjust complex schedules quickly.

The Gantt Planning Logic Block visualizes all orders, operations, and resources in a single timeline.

It allows planners to reschedule work via drag-and-drop, immediately revealing free capacity and overloads without losing context.

Conflict Radar

Solves problem: Conflicts and delays are often discovered too late.

The Conflict Radar Logic Block makes deviations visible early by highlighting resource bottlenecks, missed delivery dates, and missing feedback.

Each conflict links directly to its cause, enabling fast resolution before problems escalate.

Parallel Resources

Solves problem: Operations require multiple resources (e.g., a machine requires a specialist; a process requires a specific tool) at the same time.

The Parallel Resources Logic Block ensures that all required resources — such as specific machines, employees. tools, or fixtures — are planned simultaneously, preventing incomplete schedules or unnecessary delays.

Multifunctional Resources

Solves problem: Need to efficiently use resources with multiple skills or capabilities for flexible scheduling.

The Multifunctional Resources Logic Block can automatically allocate tasks to resources (e.g., employees and machines) with multiple qualifications and capabilities.

Capacity Plans

Solves problem: Planning ignores resource unavailability and produces unrealistic schedule.

The Capacity Plans Logic Block defines when employees and machines are available.

It provides a transparent and maintainable basis for realistic capacity planning.

Configuration

Solves problem: Looking for a flexible way to update new planning parameters and change system behavior.

The Configuration Logic Block allows you to easily adjust system behavior such as units of measure, object names, and disruption reasons, ensuring the system adapts to your new steps, terminologies and processes.

Work Step Master Data

Administration

Solves problem: Users, permissions, and system settings are difficult to control.

The Administration Logic Block centralizes user management, access rights, licenses, and system settings, ensuring secure and controlled operation.

Gap List

Solves problem: Planning ignores unplanned absences and downtime and produces unrealistic schedule.

The Gap List Logic Block captures short-term capacity losses such as vacation, sick leave, or maintenance and automatically reduces available capacity in planning.

Calendars

Solves problem: Planning ignores planned non-working days and produces unrealistic schedules.

The Calendars Logic Block defines weekends, public holidays, and shutdowns and automatically excludes them from available capacity, ensuring that plans reflect real working time.

Pausing Orders

Solves problem: Inactive tasks and orders stay in the plan and create chaos.

The Pausing Orders Logic Block can temporarily remove tasks from the plan while preserving all feedback, allowing production to resume cleanly.

Advanced Planning

Assemblies

Solves problem: Multi-level components and products are hard to plan and track correctly.

The Assemblies Logic Block breaks products into structured subassemblies and automatically creates linked production orders, keeping complex structures understandable and traceable.

Utilization

The Utilization Logic Block shows whether a defined group of resources can cover a planned time period, supporting realistic overview on the predicted result of your capacity planning.

Cycles

Solves problem: Repetitive steps and operations require unnecessary manual planning.

The Cycles Logic Block automates the planning of repeating operations directly in routings and ensures they are scheduled correctly by the planning algorithm.

Order Splitting

Solves problem: Large orders often block efficient production flows.

The Order Splitting Logic Block splits large quantities into smaller production orders while maintaining the link to the original customer order.

Characteristics

Solves problem: Detail panning decisions rely on tribal knowledge, manual adjustments or coordination.

The Characteristics Logic Block automatically encodes relevant properties of articles and resources so the planning algorithm can respect sequencing, compatibility, or physical constraints automatically.

Material Requirements Planning

Solves problem: Material shortages and overstock occur due to missing foresight.

The Material Requirements Planning Logic Block calculates required materials, quantities, and timing based on the plan, aligning purchasing with estimated production consumptions.

Resource Programs

Solves problem: Jobs with different requirements mistakenly planned together on the same resource.

The Resource Programs Logic Block separates jobs and operations based on regulatory, quality, and compatibility requirements, ensuring compliant and accurate production.

Simulation

Solves problem: It is too risky to simulate the impact of new changes in live systems.

The Simulation Logic Block creates isolated snapshot of the current plan, allowing safe exploration of new changes, possible improvements, or alternative scenarios before applying changes.

Fixed Start Dates

Solves problem: Certain planned tasks must or can only start at exact times.

The Fixed Start Dates Logic Block enforces immovable start times, ensuring coordination with projects, suppliers, or regulatory constraints.

Attendant Resources

Solves problem: The same resource is required across multiple steps (e.g., employee & container).

The Attendant Resources Logic Block assigns accompanying resources once and applies them consistently to all related operations.

Add Production Orders

Solves problem: New production orders can only be added by replanning everything.

The Add Production Orders Logic Block allows additional production orders to be inserted into existing plans when capacity permits, without destabilizing the schedule.

Resource Priority

Solves problem: Some resources need to be used first.

The Resource Priority Logic Block ensures preferred or more efficient resources are planned before others within the same group.

Qualification Matrix
