Excellent Support for Sales and Operations

Planning
Voyager Manufacturing Planning is a critical
component of any sales and operations planning
(S&OP) process. Fully integrated with other
Voyager solutions, it helps you achieve shorter
cycle times, optimize production, deliver more
responsive service and achieve a rapid return
on investment.
One Solution for Capacity Planning and
Detailed Scheduling
With powerful flexibility, Voyager Manufacturing
Planning makes quick work of creating strategic
long-range capacity plans, tactical master production
schedules and operational work center schedules
so that you can reliably meet service targets.
Now you can comprehensively represent even the
most complex manufacturing environments to
easily understand the impact of multiple
constraints. Voyager Manufacturing Planning
quickly resolves problems, using sophisticated
algorithms to achieve different planning objectives.
Along with extensive what-if capabilities, Voyager
Manufacturing Planning gives you the ability to
save and compare multiple versions of your plan.
Interactive Gantt charts, graphs and reports make
plans easy to interpret and refine.

Demand
Optimization

Save time and costs across your production

environment. Using Logility Voyager Manufacturing
Plannings powerful constraint-based planning
techniques and graphical user interface, you can
balance supply and demand through a realistic
model of your manufacturing environment and
relevant production constraints.

Flexible Integration with ERP and other

systems
Voyager Manufacturing Planning integrates with
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and S&OP
systems. It links to popular databases and even
supports spreadsheet input, insulating you from
compatibility problems that occur when disparate
production systems are used across the
enterprise.

Voyager Manufacturing Planning fills functional

gaps in ERP systems that cause many planners to
rely on spreadsheets to accurately run their
facilities. For example, Voyager Manufacturing
Planning allows you to easily represent and
optimize sequence-dependent changeovers,
planning production down to hours and minutes
as opposed to just daily buckets. The solution
significantly reduces planning time, automatically
adheres to all relevant constraints and
automatically recommends the best routing, prebuilding and sequencing strategies. Such features,
combined with automatic exception alerts, allow
planners to work more efficiently and ensure that
production stays on track.
Voyager Manufacturing Planning gives you visibility
across multiple production facilities to best
determine what, where and when to manufacture
as well as how to source the raw materials. Using
a single solution for both constrained multi-plant
master scheduling and plant-level scheduling, you
can easily synchronize activities and achieve true
collaboration between central planners and remote
site schedulers.

Voyager Manufacturing Planning gives you

the power of multi-plant planning with the
detail of single-plant scheduling, so you can:
Decrease planning time by as much as 75%
Pinpoint capacity and material exceptions with
easy-to-use visual tools
Create multiple "what-if" simulations to achieve
objectives, then execute the best plan
Provide a consistent planning and scheduling
tool across multiple production sites, despite
disparate ERP systems
Anticipate problems and evaluate alternatives
with realistic, constraint-based schedules and
capacity plans that maximize throughput
Respect inventory goals while meeting customer
service targets for on-time delivery and performance
Execute calculations in-memory for faster planning,
replanning and scenario analysis.

Supply Optimization

The ability to view multiple plan

simulations to evaluate key
performance metrics that allow
planners to comprehensively
analyze options and efficiently
manage plant operations.

ABOUT
LOGILITY
With more than 1,250
customers worldwide,
Logility is a leading
provider of collaborative,
best-of-breed supply
chain solutions that help
small, medium, large and
Fortune 500 companies
realize substantial bottomline results in record time.
Logility Voyager Solutions
is a complete supply chain
and retail optimization
suite. Its performance
monitoring architecture
provides a comprehensive
range of solutions
spanning retail
merchandise planning
and allocation; demand,
inventory and
replenishment planning;
sales and operations
planning (S&OP); supply
and inventory optimization;
manufacturing planning
and scheduling; and
transportation planning
and management.

From a comprehensive look across all your facilities to a minute-by-minute schedule for a single production
line, you can now get accurate models of your production environment to promote true collaboration within
your existing business planning processes.
Advanced Analytics. Logilitys cloud-based architecture lets you manage your multi-enterprise supply chain on an exception
basis. Monitor, measure and report based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Configure prioritized alerts to flag and
resolve critical issues throughout the extended supply chain. Conduct powerful what-if scenario analyses to drive better
business decisions in all supply chain functions.
Comprehensive production planning. Voyager Manufacturing Planning models single-plant and multi-plant capacity
planning across your supply chain. Visualize detailed line level schedules for single-plant or multi-plant level capacity management.
Visual capacity planning. Create long-term capacity-constrained production plans, to level-load forecasts and collaborate
on sales and operations plans. From this solid foundation, fine-tune your production plan with colorful drag and drop
graphical techniques.
Production cost projection. Reflect real-world costs rather than arbitrary penalty costs. The cost trade-offs between
carrying inventory and increasing the frequency of setups are clearly represented.
Sequencing. Sequence-dependent changeovers can be taken into account during both medium/long capacity planning and
short term scheduling. Constraint-based methods effectively use available capacity to eliminate unnecessary setups, minimize
waste and meet customer requirements.
Extensive process modeling. Timing the arrival of the right materials at the appropriate resources increases throughput
and maximizes efficiency. Voyager Manufacturing Planning includes expiration and effectivity dates; seasonality of both endproduct demand and raw materials availability; and cure, dwell and changeover times. The system considers additional
constraints such as tooling, labor and storage and also represents and models rate-variable semi-continuous operations,
co-products and by-products from multi-yield equipment, and sequence-dependent transition products.
Easy data integration. This real-time, event-driven feature uses easily populated data files, text files or XML capabilities to
provide perpetual data integration across enterprise boundaries. Voyager Manufacturing Planning maps disparate data, in
standard formats, creating a consistent interface among corporate applications and trading partners.
Multinational support. Costs and prices are supplied in the currency of the home market as well as in local or regional
currencies, enabling forecast, inventory, production and transportation plans worldwide to roll up to higher levels of detail.
