AI-assisted replanning

Suggested

Line 2 is stopped (filler fault, 52 min and counting). Order FP-1048 is forecast to finish 3h 20m late, putting the Marshall & Co chilled order at risk.

  • Move FP-1048 to Line 4 after the current run (FP-1071 finishing ~11:50).
  • Extend Line 1 by 45 minutes to recover the priority FP-1042 order.
  • Hold FP-1052 and re-sequence behind the moved order.

Protects the chilled dispatch for Marshall & Co due tomorrow morning.

Suggestion only. Your planner stays in control.

The plan and the factory floor drift apart

Plans are made in one place and production happens in another. By the time the gap is visible, the options for fixing it have usually run out.

Plans live in spreadsheets and go out of date fast

The plan changes, the line changes, and suddenly nobody is completely sure which version is right.

Planners cannot see schedule drift early enough

Orders slip quietly until the delay is too big to absorb without overtime, reshuffling or missed service.

OEE explains the loss, but not the recovery plan

The data explains the loss after the fact, but the forward schedule never gets adjusted.

Downtime doesn't feed planning decisions

A stoppage on one line can put tomorrow’s customer orders at risk before anyone has joined the dots.

Costing hides the painful runs

Standard costs and weekly averages can mask the orders, products and lines that quietly damage margin.

Operations, planning and finance work from different numbers

Planning, operations and finance each see part of the truth, but not one shared version of what is happening.

Why FactoryPlan.app

Keep your production schedule aligned with live factory performance

Built to keep production plans aligned with what is actually happening on the factory floor.

01

Plan with live reality

Connect your production schedule to live shop-floor performance, so planners work from what is actually happening, not yesterday’s assumptions.

02

React before the plan breaks

See overruns, downtime and schedule drift while there is still time to act, not after the shift has already gone off plan.

03

Understand the true cost of production

Bring together performance, labour, downtime and waste cost, then compare actual production cost against standard.

04

Replan with better options

AI-assisted replanning suggestions that stay under your control. Your team decides what changes.

05

Connect the systems you already use

Sit FactoryPlan.app on top of your existing MES/OEE tools, production plans and reporting data, without replacing what already works.

What's inside

One planning layer between your schedule, factory data and cost reality

Start with live scheduling, live MES/OEE feedback, plan-vs-actual tracking, costing and reporting. Then build towards AI-assisted replanning, capacity planning and S&OP from the same connected planning layer.

Learn more

Loss-risk alerts at planning

Roadmap

Flag planned orders that are likely to run at a loss before they reach the line. FactoryPlan.app will compare each order's standard cost against what it is realistically going to cost, using overtime premiums, achievable run rates and the line's real OEE history.

Explore a simplified version of FactoryPlan.app in your browser, using realistic production data. See how live performance, schedule drift and cost impact come together in one planning view — no login or setup required.

Integrations

Connect the systems you already use

FactoryPlan.app sits on top of your MES/OEE platform, pulling live line status, downtime, output, speed and OEE data into the production plan. You keep the systems that already work and FactoryPlan.app turns their feedback into planning, costing and reporting decisions.

Your MES/OEE system

Live line status · downtime · output · OEE

FactoryPlan.app

Planning · tracking · costing

Built around an integration-neutral layer, so new MES/OEE platforms can be added without changing how your team plans, tracks and reports.

Implementation

Moving beyond Excel should not take a year

The reason planners stay on old spreadsheets is not because they love them. It is because replacing them usually means months of data cleansing, modelling and consultancy. FactoryPlan.app starts from the production history you already have, maps your columns with AI, flags the gaps, and lets your team maintain the model in plain English.

 Usual wayFactoryPlan.app
Getting the data inWeeks or months of master-data clean upUpload existing spreadsheets as they are; AI converts it to an import template for your approval
Building the modelConfigured from scratch in expensive workshopsBuilt from your real production history
Run rates & capacitiesEstimated, inherited or chased manuallyCalculated from what the factory actually ran
