The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) On Production Planning & Factory Scheduling
At HUB 360, our delivery management and distribution software platform is revolutionising how businesses across Ireland run their delivery operations. Using artificial intelligence (AI)-backed mobile technologies combined with machine learning, optimum levels of efficiency are achieved, as well transparency of operation and improved customer satisfaction.
However, it’s not just the B2B logistics sector that can benefit from the use of AI, as it can also be used to great effect in production planning and factory scheduling. As with all industries, those who embrace newer, more efficient ways of working tend to be those that survive for the long term.
Traditional Production Planning & Scheduling
As a crucial part of operations management, production planning and scheduling has traditionally been performed in a rigid way that uses metrics like material requirements and dates. This information then has a fixed logic applied to it that may work in theory. However, what any planner in the real world will tell you, it leaves a lot to chance, as it often includes elements that are either unfeasible or just plain impossible.
As it does in the logistics sector, AI approaches planning and scheduling in a much more considered way by using a dynamic Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) software, rather than a fixed logic. Whilst the current evolution of production planning and scheduling AI still needs an experienced human operator to apply the recommendations it provides, it still results in a much more nuanced and tailored methodology.
The benefits of AI in all parts of industry is only just being realised, particularly in the field of logistics and delivery. The ongoing supply and accessibility of real-time data that AI and mobile technologies provide allow the right decisions to be made at precisely the right times. Considering it in the delivery management sector along is something of a no-brainer!
