Role of Sequencing and Dispatching in Supply Chain Management

As a Supply Chain Manager in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, you understand the critical role that sequencing and dispatching play in ensuring smooth operations and timely delivery of life-saving medications.

In this blog, we will look into the significance of sequencing and dispatching in pharmaceutical manufacturing and explore how integration between PlanetTogether and leading ERP, SCM, and MES systems can revolutionize your supply chain management processes.

Sequencing and Dispatching

Sequencing and dispatching are two key components of production planning and control within the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Sequencing involves determining the order in which manufacturing tasks should be executed to optimize resource utilization, minimize idle time, and meet production deadlines. Dispatching, on the other hand, involves assigning specific tasks to available resources based on the established sequence and ensuring that these tasks are executed efficiently and according to schedule.

The Importance of Integration

In today's interconnected world, seamless integration between different systems is essential for maximizing efficiency and streamlining operations. As a Supply Chain Manager, you need real-time visibility into all aspects of your manufacturing process, from raw material procurement to final product delivery.

Integration between PlanetTogether and Leading ERP, SCM, and MES Systems
