Production Planning in Farseer

In this webinar, Roko Grgić from the Farseer team walks through how production and finance teams can connect their sales and production planning in one place — moving beyond disconnected spreadsheets and into a dynamic, driver-based model that recalculates in real time as assumptions change.

You’ll see a live demo of a full production planning model built around a pasta manufacturing company, showing how sales quantities, raw material costs, workstation capacity, and financial results stay connected throughout the entire planning process.

What you’ll learn:

• How to build a sales plan quickly using historical data, top-down and bottom-up inputs, and AI-powered forecasting — and how that plan flows automatically into the production department
• How a driver-based production model calculates unit costs, material requirements, and workstation utilization based on your bill of materials and production parameters
• How to track production efficiency and spot capacity bottlenecks — including workstations running over capacity in specific months — before they become real problems
• How to generate an automatic procurement report showing exactly how much of each raw material needs to be ordered to meet the production plan
• How scenario analysis lets you simulate changes in material prices, electricity costs, or any other variable and instantly see the impact on net margin and company profit

The session also includes a live demonstration of how new products can be added to the model and appear automatically across all planning sheets and dashboards without any manual reconfiguration.

Who this is for: Production managers, supply chain planners, CFOs, and finance professionals in manufacturing or product-based businesses who want to connect commercial and operational planning in a single, accurate model.
