Plan, step 4 of 6
Know where you’re long, where you’re short, and what to run next.
Planner+ keeps long/short positions and par inventory in balance across raw, work-in-process and finished goods, and re-sequences production the moment the day changes.
How it works
Sees
Perishable and finished inventory, ERP orders, line performance and labor, in one live view.
Weighs
Positions, code dates, line capacity and crews.
Moves
Proposes the production plan and re-sequences it when something changes. Ops and production approve the plan instead of building it.
The production plan goes stale by mid-morning.
Perishable inventory, open orders, line performance and staffing each live in a different system. Building the production plan takes hours, and every change means rebuilding it by hand. Meanwhile product gets repacked, must-ship orders slip, and overtime fills the gap.
Your kind of operation
- For a processor
- Par levels for raw, work-in-process and finished goods.
- For a packhouse
- Long/short by size, grade and pack.
Where the value shows up
Fewer spot buys
20–40%
fewer emergency cover buys
Modeled from customer baselines
Less repack
Product is reallocated before it’s packed: no repack, no orphaned inventory.
Fewer late fees
Must-ship orders run first, avoiding late fees of around 3% of order value and expedited freight at 30–100% over standard.
Less spoilage
Oldest code dates run first; planning-driven spoilage cut by up to 75%.
Lower labor cost
Crews rebalanced to actual staffing; recovery overtime cut in half.
Less stoppage
Changeovers, sanitation and sequencing optimized to close a 25% OEE gap.
Less time building plans
80% less time spent building production plans.

Questions
How is Planner+ different from the planning module in our ERP?
Your ERP works from units it counts. Planner+ works from what you actually have, including size, grade and shelf life, and re-sequences as the day changes. Your ERP stays the system of record.
Who approves the production plan?
Your ops and production leads. Planner+ proposes; they decide.
Does it need the other agents?
No. It runs on its own and works better alongside them.
