Production plans that hold when the week changes
A plant runs on a plan that assumes the orders, the people and the materials will all arrive as expected. Most weeks, one of them doesn't. Inveno re-plans the day's production labor, shifts and material flow against your lines and workstations, executes through your ERP and MES, and keeps the plant manager informed on the floor instead of in front of a screen.
Where plants start with Inveno
Orders that arrive by email and spreadsheet.
Inveno reads customer orders and purchase orders, confirms them, enters them as sales orders in your ERP and sends a person anything it can't match. Once you trust it, it can run this on its own.
Labor and shift scheduling.
Builds shifts against the production plan, skills and attendance, and re-plans when people call out or the week's orders change.
Line and workstation constraints.
Plans around the stations that cap each line, so labor goes where today's bottleneck is, not yesterday's.
Material replenishment to the line.
Times raw material and component moves into production so lines don't starve and staging areas don't overflow.
Coordination across departments and lines.
One plan that receiving, production and shipping all work from, instead of each optimizing its own piece.
A digital teammate for the plant manager
Inveno does the screen work: watching orders, labor and materials across systems, applying your SOPs and flagging what needs a decision. The plant manager gets a short list of approvals and a plan that explains itself.
Works with your ERP and MES
Inveno works on top of the ERP, MES and spreadsheets you already run, through the interfaces your team already uses. Your systems of record stay in place and keep doing what they're good at, which is recording.
You decide how much it runs
Bounded workflows such as order entry can run on their own and escalate exceptions to a person. Complex ones such as labor allocation ask for approval whenever the plan goes outside the limits you set. Every action is logged with its inputs, the rule applied and the result.
Questions
It plans and re-plans the day's production labor, shifts and material flow against line and workstation capacity. It works alongside the master production schedule in your ERP or planning system rather than replacing it.
The master production schedule sets what to build and when, over weeks. Inveno works at the level of the day and the shift: who works where, what moves when, and what changes when an order, a person or a delivery doesn't show up as planned.
No. Inveno works through the interfaces your team already uses, and every deployment starts in shadow mode.
Plants where orders arrive by email or spreadsheet, labor is tight, or lines wait on material.
