Use Case · Production Planning

Every order looks urgent.
The ones that matter stay hidden.

Konekti connects production orders, BOM components, and procurement into one view. Planners see material risk before it stops production, not after.

For operations teams who spend too much time searching for what's wrong and not enough time fixing it.

Prioritized order risk from existing SAP data — no new infrastructure

What's happening

Planners shouldn't have to search for what's missing.

Production orders depend on hundreds of BOM components. Each one sourced through separate purchase orders, with different lead times, different suppliers, and different confirmation statuses across multiple SAP screens.

When a material runs short, planners manually cross-reference production orders, reservations, BOM structures, and open purchase orders. It takes time. It creates mistakes. And by the time the shortage is found, it has often already delayed production.

At the same time, planners are managing a constant stream of other signals: demand changes, capacity shifts, supplier delays, rescheduling requests. Everything starts to look equally urgent. The real delivery risks are the ones that will become backorders or customer escalations. They stay invisible until they're already in motion.

ERP shows order status. Planning tools show schedules. Procurement shows supplier commitments. None of them show the cascade: which action prevents the largest delivery risk, and which signals are just noise.

What it costs

Late visibility is always more expensive than prevention.

Disruption cost

If 1% of 20,000 production orders escalate, that is 200 escalations. At €5K per escalation in premium freight, overtime, or emergency sourcing, the annual leakage is €1M. Before penalties or lost customer commitments.

Planner capacity

Eight planners spending two hours a day reconciling orders, BOMs, and POs equals roughly 3,500 hours per year. At €75 fully loaded cost per hour, that is more than €260K of planning capacity spent on manual visibility work.

Late escalations

When delivery risks become visible too late, the response is always more expensive than the prevention. Expedited freight. Emergency sourcing. Customer calls that shouldn't need to happen.

How Konekti helps

One operational model. From production order to BOM to open PO. Live.

Konekti builds a process graph that links production orders to their BOM components, current inventory levels, and open purchase orders. Customer orders, supplier confirmations, material availability, production progress, and delivery commitments are all connected into a single queryable view.

K-AI is Konekti's agent layer. It queries that connected model and returns evidence-backed answers, not black-box summaries. So instead of searching across systems, planners ask a question and get a prioritized answer with the evidence behind it.

Questions Konekti answers for production planning teams
The question you're asking What Konekti shows you
Which production orders have material shortages right now? A daily prioritized list of orders at material risk, before they hit the production floor
Which BOM components are causing the delay? Traceable shortage path from production order to the specific component and its supply status
When is the next purchase order expected, and does it arrive in time? PO confirmation dates mapped against production schedule requirements
Which orders are at risk of escalation? Ranked list by customer importance, delivery date, financial exposure, and downstream impact
What happens if we do nothing? Estimated impact in premium freight, overtime, penalty exposure, or missed delivery

The first engagement

Connected data to prioritized delivery risk in two weeks.

We connect to your existing data, build the operational model, and show you quantified results before you commit to anything broader.

  • A connected model linking production orders, BOM, inventory, and open POs
  • A daily prioritized list of orders at material risk
  • Root-cause evidence trails your team can inspect
  • A working dashboard or monitoring view
  • A prioritized action list
  • A business case for the next intervention

The problem isn't missing data. It's disconnected signals.

All the relevant data exists: lead times, delays, priorities, supplier performance. It is spread across procurement, inventory, production, and sales, and evaluated in isolation.

The result is action on noise instead of actual risk. Repeated rescheduling without clear effect. And real delivery threats that only become visible when they've already escalated.

Konekti connects events across all of these domains into a single process graph. K-AI clarifies which signals actually require action, explains recurring reprioritization patterns, and links supplier behaviour to real delivery impact. The output is clear, defensible priorities. Not a longer list of urgent items.

Production planning risk rarely stays inside production. It shows up as fulfilment unpredictability, late delivery, customer dissatisfaction, and margin leakage. That is why Konekti connects planning, procurement, inventory, production, and order fulfilment into one operational model.

At ABB

Konekti found a loop in the planning system: changing planning settings led to PO changes, which shifted inventory forecasts, which triggered more setting changes. Orders were cancelled and re-sent repeatedly. More than 1 in every 200 orders was affected, with many escalating unnecessarily before anyone could see the pattern.

Proven in the field

Advantech: €900K in improvement opportunities. Roughly €150K surfaced per week of analysis.

Advantech is a global leader in industrial IoT and edge computing. Customer satisfaction was declining and leadership needed to understand why and what the operational impact was.

Konekti connected to Advantech's SAP environment and had the full order-to-cash process visible within 2 days. Within 6 weeks, the team had identified €900K in improvement opportunities. Roughly €150K of opportunity surfaced per week during the analysis window.

"With Konekti, we've been able to see, in just a few days, how our orders really flow. It's giving us a clear starting point to make our fulfilment more predictable and efficient."
