The old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” is powerful but a video like this really does capture the many challenges manufacturing companies face every day. From bottlenecks and last-minute changes to idle machines and frustrated teams, the struggle to keep operations running smoothly is all too real.
At Langcroft Consultancy, we know that many businesses are still relying on spreadsheets or legacy planning tools systems that can’t keep up with the pace of modern manufacturing. That’s why we partner with Planeus, a cloud-based production planning and control system built to handle complexity, real-world constraints, and constant change.
Spreadsheets collapse under continuous changes. Legacy planning tools are slow, rigid, and often require far too much effort to manage effectively. They weren’t designed for a world where change is the only constant.
Modern factories need planning systems built around real-life constraints: availability, capacity, capability, and accessibility. Without them, planning becomes reactive, leaving teams constantly firefighting instead of working strategically.v
Langcroft Consultancy works closely with Planeus to bring businesses clarity, control and efficiency. Some of the system’s key features include:
With Planeus, operations leaders can stop reacting to problems and start planning strategically.
If you’re a business owner or operations leader in manufacturing, we recommend taking five minutes to watch this video. It clearly illustrates the challenges most factories face and how a cloud-based system like Planeus, supported by Langcroft Consultancy expertise, can turn planning from a struggle into a strategic advantage.
