Capabilities

Planning & Scheduling

Turn plans into executable commitments.

Capacity, materials, and execution reality don’t always agree with the plan. Every gap becomes an unstable schedule, a shortage, or a service risk. Bluecrux connects planning horizons, decision rights, and execution feedback so your commitments hold.

Let's talk

Plans Under Pressure

Plans Without Capacity Reality

Demand and supply plans look feasible until materials, people, or equipment are checked, and the commitment breaks.

Capabilities planning and scheduling aps nobody trusts

An APS Nobody Trusts

Planners work around the system instead of through it, because master data and planning logic haven’t kept pace with the business.

Assumptions That Drift

Lead times, yields, and resource rates quietly diverge from actual performance, so plans lock in numbers that no longer hold.

Late Breaking Capacity Constraints

Life Sciences

QC and Advanced Therapy constraints get discovered after the plan is set, not built into it from the start.

How We Partner

End-to-end solutions that help you design, implement, and scale planning transformations with confidence.

Let's talk

E2E Planning & Scheduling

Connect long range demand and supply through IBP/S&OP, tactical planning, and detailed scheduling, so every horizon inherits a feasible commitment.

APS Acceleration

Select, implement, or get more value from your APS by tightening master data, planning logic, and adoption.

Planning Data Optimization

Build the data strategy, governance, and delivery pipeline that keeps planning parameters trusted, current, and continuously tuned against actual flow and performance.

Digital Planning Strategy & Design

Assess planning maturity, build the business case, design future state processes and organization structure, and prove them through a phased roadmap and proof of concept.

Program Management & Change Adoption

Run the transformation program with clear methodology and milestone tracking, while training, communicating, and reinforcing the new way of planning so it survives contact with your teams’ daily routines.

Value Capture

Identify, track, and lock in the benefits of the transformation, then keep improving after the program goes live.

Built For Real Planning

Binocs™

Discover Binocs

Proves detailed capacity and schedule feasibility where people, equipment, skills, or Quality capacity determine the outcome. It’s the engine behind QC and CGT scheduling.

Helion™

Discover Helion

Powers commercial biotech supply planning, connecting demand, inventory, sourcing, regulatory constraints, shelf life, scenarios, and CMO capacity.

OMP Unison Planning

Discover OMP

Configured and embedded as the connected planning backbone across demand, supply, and scheduling.

Kinaxis Maestro Planning

Discover Kinaxis

Deployed to give planners one concurrent view of demand, supply, and constraints.

Anaplan Connected Planning

Discover Anaplan

Built into IBP and planning models that connect commercial, financial, and operational assumptions; Helion™ extends this into commercial supply planning for biotech.

SAP IBP

Discover SAP

Configured as the connected planning backbone for organizations standardizing on SAP, so the same closed loop applies regardless of the underlying APS.

Planning That Works

Straumann Boosted Their Forecast Accuracy with AI-Driven Demand Planning

Faced with growing complexity and inconsistent planning processes, Straumann partnered with Bluecrux and Anaplan to transform demand planning. The result: a standardized global planning approach and a 15% increase in baseline forecast accuracy through machine learning.

How Astellas Transformed QC Scheduling with AI

Astellas replaced manual, spreadsheet-based lab scheduling with BinocsAI Scheduling, improving visibility, reducing lead times by 15%, and creating a more efficient and predictable working environment for its QC teams.

Using their sound methodology on how to manage APS implementations, bluecrux helped us creating the first step in digitization of our planning processes. Blending their business process, Kinaxis system and overall change management expertise.
