How Blue Yonder helps

What’s possible with advanced planning and scheduling

Maximize efficiency and return on assets

With the ability to perform continuous analysis and adjustment of production processes based on supply and demand changes, planners can refine and rebalance production to improve inventory utilization, increase output and decrease rework while minimizing logistics and warehousing costs.

Deliver increased stability and higher throughput

Intelligent scenario planning analyzes supply and production constraints like semiconductor shortages and other supply/demand imbalances as well as order changes to generate a resource-optimized schedule and sequence that can be locked in, smoothing assembly times of a facility, even down to sections of a conveyor belt, all while balancing labor cost, machine utilization and assembly time.

Ensure reliable delivery commitments to customers and partners

Digital twin modeling enables planners to continually optimize production slotting, scheduling, and sequencing to support the most demanding and variant-rich production processes while improving forecast accuracy to ensure partners and customers know when to expect orders.

Detailed Scheduling

Increase delivery transparency and control costs

Quickly create and communicate plans for new orders that optimize delivery while reducing idle time and production setup. Advanced scenario planning uses digital twins to analyze resource availability, production capacity, and existing order details to identify an efficient production plan that can be executed and communicated to customers for improved relationships.
