With PRODUCTION PLANNING & CONTROL
we can realistically map our workload and
efficiently avoid bottlenecks.

In terms of planning, the requirements of a manufacturer are different from those of a subcontractor. Jörg Lintzen GmbH, as a contract manufacturer, specializes in the production of small series and prototypes and reports on its experiences with the cloud-based products PRODUCTION PLANNING & CONTROL.

Jörg Lintzen GmbH, founded in 1966, specializes as a contract manufacturer in the production of small batches and prototypes and processes even the most difficult materials with the highest precision. The company has been relying on the quality of DMG MORI machines for 30 years and is now managed in the second generation by Stefan Hempel.

However, the third generation, Joshua Hempel, is already in the starting blocks and is significantly driving the digitization of the manufacturing processes. He is motivated above all by the changes in the market, which show him that excellent turning and milling centers and good employees are no longer enough in global competition. His goal is to streamline production processes, manage capacities efficiently and optimize capacity utilization. To achieve this, reliable statements on output quantities and delivery dates are essential.

The PLANNING BOARD convinced me immediately
with its intuitive user interface. After only a few hours,
the first planning was ready. And after only 10 days,
the PLANNING BOARD completely replaced our
analog planning board.

In the past, Jörg Lintzen GmbH used an analog planning board for planning. Particularly in the case of high-capacity utilization, this often resulted in planning errors that led to bottlenecks and a heavy workload for the workforce.

For this reason, Joshua Hempel made a conscious decision to replace the planning board and to optimize the flow of production orders by using cloud-based products from PRODUCTION PLANNING & CONTROL.

The genius of the PLANNING BOARD is that it is
a web-based product. We can use a wide variety
of end devices for planning. And it can be combined
with other tools, such as the PRODUCTION FEEDBACK.

He was particularly impressed by the easy-to-use interface of the PLANNING BOARD. And the fact that the software does not require any complex implementation or IT maintenance.

In order to link planning directly with production, Joshua Hempel combines the PLANNING BOARD with PRODUCTION FEEDBACK. With the help of PRODUCTION FEEDBACK, his production staff can now report the current production status to the PLANNING BOARD via tablet, so that planning is always updated in real time. This ensures planning transparency at all levels.

Thanks to PLANNING BOARD and PRODUCTION FEEDBACK,
we are working towards a future with a head start
and are moving forward with digitization.
