What is Next Generation Planning?

Next Generation Planning is a manufacturing planning solution that is suitable for industries where these conditions hold true:

• The product being produced is very large—several million parts—leading to scalability challenges.

• The number of products being built is small. For example, in shipbuilding, 5–7 vessels might be produced using the same build program.

• The production build starts before final design is complete and continuously changes.

Next Generation Planning, built on the 4th generation design platform, contains features to create the processes and operations for each activity, to track changes, and to create work instructions including model views.
