Planning Challenges in High-Tech Manufacturing


High-tech manufacturing demands high-mix production scheduling across constrained resources and tight timelines. Disruptions in the supply chain, frequent design changes, and the need to meet global on-time delivery targets make schedule accuracy critical. PlanetTogether APS helps manage these complexities through smarter production planning.

Key Industry Challenges:

  • Synchronizing production schedules with engineering updates and version control

  • Managing high product mix and short lead times

  • Addressing part shortages across a complex supply chain

  • Coordinating high-precision processing lines and test phases

  • Balancing capacity planning with fluctuating demand forecasts

  • Improving schedule adherence and reducing cost while scaling operations
