Tiivistelmä
This thesis was commissioned by the production planning team at the Mikkeli factory of Mölnlycke Health care Oy. As a part of actions directed towards increasing the efficiency of the production planning process, the production planning team has been going through a process to update the software version of the production scheduling system in use at the factory, Infor Advanced Scheduling.
The purpose of this thesis was to optimise the production planning process at the factory by implementing the new software update together with the production planning team, making user side customisation to the updated software and finally constructing a user guide to support the usage of the software.
This thesis consists of two main objectives; first being the implementation of the new software update to the scheduling system, and the second part including the creation of a comprehensive user guide for the software.
The thesis was performed as a case study, following the progress of the software update project. The outcome of this thesis was helping the production planning team to have the production scheduling software up to date, and a user guide for operating the software.
