When Excel-based shift plans reach their limits
With multiple shifts, teams, and production areas, coordination efforts quickly increase.Short-term absences or changing production requirements lead to manual adjustments, multiple Excel versions, and time-consuming communication.
Typical challenges:
- Multiple Excel files and different planning versions
- High manual maintenance effort
- Short-term absences
- Lack of qualification transparency
- Time-consuming replacement planning
- Shift planning and production planning are not synchronised
