Integrated Project & Production Planning with waySuite
In practice, looking at project milestones and production capacity in isolation inevitably creates friction and inefficiencies. The valantic APS waySuite closes this gap. As a central software for integrated project and production planning, it connects your project planning directly with your production control. This means you can identify resource bottlenecks early, manage complex orders realistically, and ensure reliable on-time delivery.
Challenges in Connected Planning
Production Planners, SCM and IT Directors, and Executives
Synchronizing project-driven order processing with actual production presents specific challenges across different areas of the company:
The Production Planner's Perspective
Managing Complex Dependencies
The Production Planner's Perspective
Planning managers often struggle with a lack of visibility. When project milestones shift, there’s no immediate feedback into production capacity. The result: last-minute rescheduling, inefficient setup times, and overloaded machines or staff.
The SCM and IT Director's Perspective
Overcoming System Silos
The SCM and IT Director's Perspective
A legacy IT infrastructure that has grown over time often leads to data silos. Project management tools and ERP or MES systems don’t communicate in real time. The SCM director faces the problem of fragmented supply chains, while IT has to shoulder the high maintenance and integration overhead of decentralized, siloed solutions.
The Executive Perspective
Ensuring Profitability and On-Time Delivery
The Executive Perspective
For executives, what matters most are reliable commitments to the end customer. Opaque planning processes tie up unnecessary capital in the form of buffer stock and risk contractual penalties from late deliveries. The lack of connection between project and production progress makes well-informed, strategic decisions harder to reach.
Production Planning vs. Detailed Production Scheduling: A Seamless Transition
To understand integrated control, it’s essential to clearly distinguish between the planning levels — and the valantic waySuite connects both worlds:
Production Planning (Macro Level)
This involves medium- to long-term rough-cut planning. Demand is determined, material availability is checked, and rough capacities (e.g., at the weekly or monthly level) are allocated to projects.
Detailed Scheduling (Micro Level)
This is the short-term, precise sequencing of orders. It covers minute-by-minute scheduling of individual machines, the optimization of setup sequences, and the immediate response to disruptions (e.g., machine breakdowns).
The integration within waySuite ensures that strategic project and production planning sets the parameters, which are then immediately checked for technical feasibility in detailed production scheduling. Conflicts at the micro level (detailed scheduling) feed back in real time to the macro level (production planning / project planning), so that realistic delivery dates can be calculated.
Measurable Results through Integrated Control
How waySuite Synchronizes Your Processes
Integrated project and production control means that the work breakdown structure (WBS) is physically and logically linked to the production orders. The valantic waySuite acts as an intelligent Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system, delivering clear business and operational improvements:
Realistic commitments to customers through synchronized scheduling.
Fewer manual meetings and email chains between project management and shop floor control.
Project managers and production planners access the same data. If a bill of materials changes or a supplied part is delayed, the impact on the final project milestone becomes immediately visible. Real-time status on project progress and capacity utilization is available at any time.
The system continuously matches project demand against actual capacity in production control. Resource bottlenecks involving machines or critical staff are identified before they occur. In the event of supply chain disruptions or machine breakdowns, scenarios are recalculated automatically.
Avoiding idle time and reducing lead times through optimized scheduling plans.
By eliminating manual Excel spreadsheets and digitalizing the planning steps, you create a continuous, error-resistant flow of information across the entire value chain.

Frequently Asked Questions about valantic waySuite and Integrated Project and Production Control
Integrated project and production control digitally links work breakdown structures and milestones with the capacity and orders on the shop floor. It ensures that project-driven deadlines are aligned with what’s actually feasible in the plant.
Production planning covers the medium- to long-term rough-cut planning of capacity and materials. Detailed production scheduling, on the other hand, manages the short-term, machine-level sequencing (micro level) and optimizes setup times and sequences directly on the shop floor.
Conventional ERP systems usually plan with unlimited capacity (infinite planning) and fixed lead times. An APS system like valantic waySuite accounts for real, finite resources (machines, staff, material) in real time and dynamically calculates the best possible execution.
The software visualizes workload across all projects. If a capacity bottleneck looms, the system warns you early and offers alternative planning paths through integrated simulations (what-if scenarios).
Yes, valantic waySuite is designed to manage multiple parallel projects. It calculates dependencies and priorities across all ongoing projects and allocates production capacity in line with your strategic priorities.
Integrated planning is especially well suited for machinery and plant engineering, discrete manufacturing, the automotive supplier industry, and companies with high-variant series or one-off production.
