Why planning teams pick Virtuoso
Disconnected planning produces beautiful plans that the shop floor can’t execute. Virtuoso plans on the same data the shop floor uses: routings, recipes, work-center capacity, normative stocks, and supplier lead times. The plan and the execution speak the same language.
What you get
- Multi-horizon planning — annual, monthly, weekly, daily, or custom planning periods, each as its own plan object.
- Sales-driven generation — production plan lines created automatically from approved sales plans with the same horizon.
- BOM explosion — finished goods exploded into semi-finished components through recipes and specifications.
- Feasibility analysis — material, working-capital, capacity, and personnel needs validated against the plan deadline.

BOM and routing integration
- Explosion through multilevel recipes for component requirements.
- Labor intensity calculation through routings and work-center productivity.
- Substitution directories and by-products handled inside the explosion.
Requirements and feasibility
- Material requirement lists for purchasing.
- Normative stock directories for procurement plans.
- Working-capital, capacity, and personnel needs.
- Feasibility analysis against deadlines.
Approval and replanning
- Plans approved and locked from change, except by authorized users.
- Replanning workflow when demand or capacity shifts.
- Comparison of planned vs actual production at any horizon.
Outcomes

- Capacity overruns are caught before commitment.
- Plan-vs-actual is a live dashboard, not a quarter-end exercise.
