Production planning
Material, suitability and capacity checked before a job is released, not after it has stopped the press.
What it does
Planning asks three questions before anything is released. Is the material there, or orderable in time? Is the specification actually makeable — short grain against a fold, board too heavy to crease, ink too heavy to laminate? Is there capacity in the window promised?
- Free stock against need against supplier lead time
- Suitability checks that stop bad jobs early
- Day-bucket capacity with overload named
- Release is the money line: it opens WIP
GH₵ 220 per month, net of tax, on top of the plan fee and the fee per person. Added and removed by the month.
What it looks like
Captures of the working system, not drawings of it.
Operations managerCapacity by day bucket, with an overload shown as three named options rather than a red cell. 
Corrugated estimatingCustomer brief to board grade to blank size to deckle to tonnes. The humidity factor is why a European datasheet fails in an Accra warehouse. 
ProcurementRequisitions raised by planning, with supplier lead time against the date already promised to the customer.
What sits next to it
Quote from a specification, not a guess. Margin and yield worked out before the number leaves the building.
