Outcomes / Benefits

Automated production planning instead of manual scheduling

Faster reaction to changes in orders, materials and equipment

Fewer stoppages of critical equipment

Better machine utilisation and buffer control

Measurable planning decisions

Dween is a production planner who doesn’t go home at five.

DWEEN Plan is advanced planning and scheduling (APS) for process manufacturing. It automatically creates the production plan and recalculates it every time reality changes — a delivery is delayed, a batch is rejected, or an urgent order comes in.

In one system it performs the planning functions that normally require three: ERP scheduling, operations management and shop-floor execution. Your ERP stays the core business system, and each team receives only its own tasks.

Two days of fermentation and cleaning runs scheduled across ten tanks. — Production plan — by equipment

How does Dween work? Simple.

No new machines, no ERP replacement. Dween reads what your systems already know and gives back a plan the floor can run.

About us

Receives orders, recipes and rules

Orders and deadlines from the ERP, equipment capacity, preparation and changeover rules, material readiness.

Solves batching and sequencing together

Most planners group first and schedule second. Dween decides both at once — that is where the savings are.

Hands the plan to the shop floor

Every team receives only its own tasks, at the level of detail that team needs.

Re-plans when reality moves

Material delayed, batch rejected, equipment down, urgent order inserted — the plan is recalculated and the teams are notified.

The plan becomes tasks, not another document

The plan is calculated centrally and shown separately to each department. Same plan, different levels of detail.

Preparation

Which steps come next, and in what order.

Production lines

The current order, the next one in the queue, the planned start time.

Quality

What must be approved or rejected.

Warehouse

What to supply and when, so the line does not stop.

Planning

The full plan and every exception in it.

Management

Risks, costs and performance indicators.

Planning based on real constraints

The plan is calculated from measurable constraints, not from judgement alone. Every rule stays configurable and visible.

Constraint	Handling	What Dween considers
Capability	Hard	Which machine can produce which product, which preparation step must come first
Capacity and availability	Hard	Line availability, machine capacity, material readiness, shift coverage
Deadlines and priority	Hard	Order due dates, customer commitments, which order outranks which
Changeovers	Cost	Which transitions to avoid, which orders to group so setups are not repeated
Buffers between stages	Cost	How much intermediate stock is allowed and how much value it ties up
Downtime and delay	Cost	Stoppage cost of critical equipment, cost per minute of lateness, idle capacity

Dween does not replace your ERP. It takes over plan calculation and reports back what was produced, what is complete and what is late.

One system instead of three

The planning functions normally split across ERP, MOM and MES run in a single model of your process, so nothing is entered twice and no two systems disagree about the schedule.

Mathematical optimisation finds the cheapest feasible sequence.

Rule-based production logic keeps your own constraints intact and visible.

AI-supported recommendations and scenario comparison for the decisions people still make.

Six months from contract to automated planning. Your ERP untouched.

Stage I — Data reading and integrations

DWEEN DataHub installed and configured, data sources connected. Up to 2 months.

Stage II — Dashboards and data preparation

Interface and dashboards, historical data quality check, logbooks digitised, current planning logic inventoried. Up to 1 month.

Stage III — Automated planning

Planning algorithms built, calibrated in real production conditions and integrated with your systems. Up to 3 months.

What we need from you

A server for DWEEN DataHub with maintenance access, network configuration to your systems and to DWEEN Cloud, and confirmation that the planning data can be read.

Dween builds the plan. You make the decision.

Less manual planning

The first plan is calculated, not assembled. Planners move from building spreadsheets to reviewing exceptions.

Faster reaction to change

A delayed delivery or an urgent order is absorbed in minutes, not in an afternoon of rework.

Critical equipment kept running

Material supply is secured, buffers are maintained and inefficient sequences are avoided around the most expensive machines.

Planning decisions become measurable

What the chosen plan costs, what re-planning costs, and where value is locked in buffers — all of it in numbers.

How will we measure success?

Planning decisions stop being a matter of opinion. These nine indicators are agreed with you before the project starts, and DWEEN reports them from the first solve onwards — every recalculation writes them to the dashboard.

Manual planning time

Critical equipment stoppage time

Equipment utilisation rate

Re-planning speed after a change

Number of manual plan corrections

Order readiness visibility

Excessive buffers between stages

On-time production execution

Response time to an urgent order
