One Platform. Every Horizon. Smarter Production Planning.

Production planning determines what to produce, in what quantities, and over what time horizon — operating at the level of weeks and months to ensure capacity commitments, inventory targets, and material availability are aligned before the schedule is built. Production scheduling translates that plan into a detailed sequence of work orders assigned to specific lines, shifts, and resources at daily or hourly granularity. The two must be consistent with each other: a schedule that cannot be executed within the capacity boundaries of the production plan is not a schedule — it is a source of unplanned stoppages and expediting costs. Solvoyo reconciles both on a single platform, ensuring line schedules are always synchronized with the Master Production Schedule.

Solvoyo provides comprehensive production planning at all levels, including Long-Run Capacity Planning (LRCP), Rough-Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP), DDMRP, and detailed scheduling — allowing seamless reconciliation of long- and mid-term production plans with detailed schedules on the same platform. As the planning horizon shortens, the model becomes more granular and constraints become harder — longer horizons allow adjustment of the resource pool, overtime authorization, or capacity investment, while daily schedules fix resources and require precise material and workforce assignments. A single platform covering all horizons eliminates the version conflicts and manual translation that occur when each horizon lives in a separate system.

Whether your production plans involve make-to-order, make-to-stock, process-heavy, or pure assembly products, Solvoyo helps you optimize plans in different time horizons and synchronize demand, inventory, production, and material plans. Make-to-stock environments require production plans that build ahead of demand, balancing finished goods inventory targets against capacity constraints and seasonal volume curves. Make-to-order environments require plans that respond to specific customer commitments within confirmed capacity windows. Solvoyo models both, and handles hybrid environments where some SKUs are built to stock, and others are assembled or configured to order — encoding the specific planning logic each product type requires within the same unified platform.

The Solvoyo platform enables you to create, store, recall, and compare scenarios with constraints — whether presenting investment options to executives, supporting an S&OP or IBP process, or determining next week’s Master Production Schedule — quantifying trade-offs easily on one platform. Planners can model any capacity modification — adding a production shift, authorizing overtime, qualifying a co-manufacturing partner, opening or closing a plant for a season — and generate a fully optimized production plan for that configuration in minutes. Comparing scenarios side by side with cost and service metrics shown simultaneously converts capital investment decisions from qualitative debates into quantified trade-offs.

Solvoyo integrates DRP, MPS, and PPDS on an integrated platform, eliminating silos between distribution requirements planning, master production scheduling, and detailed production scheduling. Data exchange with SAP and other ERP systems is automated bidirectionally using APIs: master data, inventory positions, open purchase orders, and confirmed production orders flow in from the ERP, while authorized production schedules, work orders, and material requirements flow back into SAP for execution — without manual re-entry or format conversion. The platform enables seamless planner overrides and pushback into SAP through a Transport User Interface — empowering planners without compromising automation or requiring IT intervention for routine planning decisions.
