Integrated Master Production Scheduling Dashboards Combining Workforce and Capacity Metrics in Assembly Manufacturing Environments

Author(s) Sai Prasad Ravulapally
Country United States
Abstract Manufacturing companies are having difficulties dealing with demand that changes quickly, which means that they need to quickly match production capacity with the availability of workers. Traditional Master Production Scheduling (MPS) methods often rely on the planner's experience and separate analytical tools, which makes it harder for organizations to respond quickly and make the right decisions. This study discusses the creation and use of a Master Production Scheduling dashboard that brings together customer demand, production capacity, and workforce needs in a labor-intensive assembly manufacturing setting that makes outdoor power equipment. The dashboard combines takt-time standards, workforce modeling, line capability constraints, and operational calendars into one decision-support platform using a design science research methodology and an industrial case study. The results demonstrate that planning for the workforce is more transparent, staffing choices are made more rapidly, cross-functional planning is more consistent, and more visible to leaders. The results show how engineering-driven analytical dashboards can help businesses make small changes to their digital systems without having to spend a lot of money on new systems.
