Fruition

Production Planning Tool

Why do we require a Production Planning Tool like
As the business environment today is increasingly challenging, Business systems and
Spreadsheets are often limited with respect to Capacity Planning, they are often complex to use
because of being Non-Graphical and they are not Visual and don't highlight problems clearly.
In today's business environment we need to have Pre Production activities managed on schedule
due to the Increased Competition, Reduction in Lead Times, Continual Pressure for the value,
Reduced Margins, Smaller Orders, Increased Complexity etc.
is a complete Planning and Management Tool for the Garment Industry.
Fruition is a specialized, professional
Planning and Management Tool that provides the
Apparel, Footwear and Textile Industry much
i m p r o v e d v i s i b i l i t y, c o o r d i n a t i o n a n d
communication in a 'rapid change' environment.
Fruition is ideal for larger
manufacturing companies (typically 350 direct
employees and above for sewing applications, 30
machines and above for a machine based
application) within the Apparel, Footwear and
Textile Industry.
Fruition includes powerful drag and
drop production planning, plus full pro-active
critical path management, which is integrated with the production plan. Critical path includes focussed
task diaries for key staff, plus powerful exception reporting to immediately identify any lateness or
slippage, including colour coded warnings on the production plan.
Fruition allows multiple planners (multiple planning boards), some automatic loading and
loading rules, bill of materials leading to materials requirements schedules etc. plus its own flexible report
generator, allowing users to build their own reports.
Fruition provides a systematic approach. It can be networked and sits at the heart of the
business, acting as a focal point for coordination and control. PlaniT Fruition enables access to
information from many sites to gain an accurate view of planned production, enhancing both the strategic
and tactical management decisions to improve customer service. Ultimately, PlaniT Fruition allows a
company to increase on-time delivery, reduce order lead-times, and to reduce excess costs such as
airfreight charges, yet improve the use of available capacity.
Fruition , like all solutions from TWI-GEMS employ identical operating principles. All are
Windows based products and all are very visual and easy to use.
