Bio-Pharma Production
Reshaping production planning using Kinaxis production wheel
Transforming Bio-Pharma Production Planning
What we did
We implemented an advanced Production Wheel Application leveraging Kinaxis to fundamentally transform the client’s production planning approach. The solution introduced real-time, sequence-based planning that considered true manufacturing constraints, material availability, and line capacity.
Executive Summary
A renowned bio-pharma manufacturer struggled with inefficient production sequencing, frequent changeovers, and limited visibility using rough-cut planning.
Noblq implemented a Kinaxis-powered production wheel enabling constraint-based sequencing, logical SKU grouping, and real-time line capacity visibility.
The solution delivered reduced downtime, improved planning accuracy, prioritized high-runner SKUs, and stable, predictable production cycles.

Production Planning Without Real-Time Sequencing Control
No real-time sequencing visibility across SKUs and production lines
Frequent changeovers increased downtime and reduced overall line efficiency
Cleanup time and allergen recurrence rules were not considered
Our Solution
Constraint-Based Sequencing with Kinaxis Production Wheel
Noblq replaced rough-cut planning with real-time, constraint-aware production sequencing using Kinaxis capabilities.
Automated Production Wheels and Realistic Sequencing
The system generated and published production wheels automatically.
Stable Planning for Complex SKU Cycles
The solution also supported recurring cycles, helping planners maintain a stable rhythm even during frequent SKU changes.
