Production Operations by Pinja

by Pinja Digital Oy

An integrated production planning, optimization (APS) and manufacturing execution (MES) platform.

Production Operations by Pinja combines real-time production planning and optimization with shop-floor execution — helping you improve delivery reliability, even as conditions shift.

  • APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling) creates a realistic, optimal production plan
  • MES (Manufacturing Execution System) guides and tracks execution on the shop floor
  • Designed for manufacturers with complex, multi-stage production

Integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Business Central

Production Operations by Pinja integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (including Finance and Supply Chain Management) and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central through standard, secure APIs. The solution exchanges master data and transaction data — such as items, orders, inventory levels, and production updates — enabling a connected planning and execution process across systems.

By combining Dynamics ERP capabilities with advanced production planning and shop-floor execution, manufacturers can:
  • Align ERP data with real-time production planning
  • Synchronize production orders and status updates
  • Improve visibility across planning, execution, and financial processes
  • Maintain a single source of truth across systems

The integration is based on standard APIs and does not require modifications to Microsoft Dynamics applications.

Summary of capabilities

  • Plan and execute in one system: APS and MES work together on a unified platform, keeping the production plan and execution aligned.
  • Create the optimal plan with AI: AI evaluates thousands of options in seconds to build the best schedule for your capacity and materials.
  • Real-time visibility for everyone: Machine data, ERP events, and operator updates flow into one live view for everyone.
  • Improve delivery reliability: The system keeps plans true to production conditions and flags delays to ensure on-time delivery.

Business impact on manufacturing companies

  • 10–30% shorter lead times
  • 5–20% higher capacity utilisation
  • 10–50% less unfinished production
  • 10–50% improvement in delivery reliability


Solve critical production challenges across multi-stage manufacturing

Ensure delivery capacity with fewer resources
Meeting delivery commitments without adding headcount or machines requires intelligent production planning. This achieves reliable capacity even when resources are constrained.

Respond quickly to production disruptions and changes
When machines break down or suppliers are delayed, production plans need to update in real-time. Teams always know the next best action to take.

Simulation and forecasting
Before promising delivery dates to customers, manufacturers need realistic timelines. The system shows what's achievable based on current capacity, material availability, and planned maintenance.

Guide operators with clear priorities
Shop floor operators need clear, prioritised worklists. This eliminates guesswork and tells them exactly what to work on next.

Achieve real-time production visibility
Production teams see what's happening on the shop floor in real-time. This enables quick problem resolution before issues escalate.

Control costs and minimise waste
Unplanned overtime, expedited shipping, and excess inventory erode margins. Better execution control helps avoid these costly inefficiencies.
