Resource & Capacity Planning Software for Furniture Manufacturers
Smart resource and capacity planning in furniture production. Plan your staff, machine and material resources optimally.
Why Does Planning Become a Problem in the Furniture Industry?
The difficulties faced in production, staff and resource planning threaten delivery dates and efficiency. Here are the problems you face every day:
Capacity Is Invisible
How many sofas we can produce next week is unknown. A new order came but whether we have capacity, whether we can give a delivery date is unclear.
No Staff Planning
Which master works which day, how shifts will be distributed is unplanned. Who covers for leave or illness is unclear and production is disrupted.
Machine Conflicts
There is no reservation for the CNC machine, laser cutting, sewing machines. Two jobs want to use the same machine at the same time and a conflict arises.
Priority Confusion
Which order to start first is unclear. Everyone sees their own job as urgent and the production chief constantly has to change priorities.
Hard to Adapt to Changes
The customer moved up the delivery date, an urgent order came. Changing the existing plan is very hard, the effects cannot be calculated and chaos ensues.
Bottlenecks Are Invisible
Whether the upholstery section is a bottleneck, whether CNC capacity is insufficient is unknown. Why production slowed down, which resource is constraining cannot be analyzed.
How Does Planning Work with UR-GE ERP?
A smart planning system tailored to furniture production facilities — from a visual board to bottleneck analysis, integrated with the production and employees modules.
Visual Planning Board
Easy planning with drag and drop. Place orders and work orders on a timeline. Staff-, machine- and section-based views. See the whole plan at a glance.
- Gantt chart view
- Drag-and-drop planning
- Resource-based view
- Color-coded statuses
Staff Planning
Create shift plans. Assign by considering staff availability, leaves and competencies. Understaffing alert, backup staff suggestion.
- Shift templates
- Availability calendar
- Competency matching
- Automatic backup
Machine and Resource Reservation
See the availability of machines and work areas. Make reservations for CNC, laser and sewing machines. Prevent conflicts and optimize utilization rates.
- Resource calendar
- Conflict checking
- Maintenance period blocking
- Utilization rate reports
Capacity Planning
See your current capacity and load. Instantly check whether we have capacity for a new order. Capacity-overrun alert, alternative date suggestions.
- Capacity visibility
- Load balancing
- Overrun alerts
- Scenario simulation
Automatic Planning
AI-assisted automatic planning. An optimal plan suggestion by priorities, constraints and preferences. A hybrid approach with the option of manual intervention.
- Rule-based optimization
- Priority algorithm
- Constraint management
- One-click replanning
Bottleneck Analysis
Identify bottlenecks on the production line. See which resource is overloaded, which section is slowing production. Base capacity-increase decisions on data.
- Load analysis
- Bottleneck detection
- What-if scenarios
- Capacity recommendations
