All about Production Planning of The Eye

Production Orders Fill Rate


The Eye tracks the production pipeline against orders raised. Orders from the past are tracked for service and you see the results of the analysis on the daily news page on the subsequent days. As a process, The Eye does not currently model a stock on order for production pipe-lining as it is a lot simpler to just work on a new worksheet every day; finish what you can.


Production orders issued by The Eye have a pick priority using which your team can pick products for repack based on both instantaneous and business-wise impact.

The Eye watches for repacking entries in your base system and maps them against orders raised in The Eye. Service levels for repack orders can take one of the following

  • Skipped - Repack was recommended, but your warehouse team skipped the product on that day.
  • Per Plan - Repack was recommended and your warehouse team followed and completed the order accurately.
  • Under - Repack was recommended, but your warehouse team fell short of producing the order quantity.
  • Over - Repack was recommended, but your warehouse team packed more units of the product than recommended. This may cause stock-out problems for other variants in the near future.
  • Unplanned - Repack was not recommended, but your warehouse team performed repacking of this product.

The visualisation is day-wise (by date) and clicking on any one of the line series downloads a spreadsheet with service on that given date. Use the download on the right corner of the widget to download service levels across dates.


The widget also houses a daily report that you can set up to be informed about yesterday's service levels. Use the report icon on the top right corner of the widget. The setup of this follows the same process as other reports.

Repack Planner

The Repack Planner Page deals with the recommendations for the production line assortments(repack/private label products). The plan to be executed by the production unit is shown here with a short summary on top.

The Summary shows you details such as:

  • The products which cannot be repacked because of no parent stock.
  • The products that can be repacked less than the requirement because of the non-availability of parent stock.
  • You can download the non-repackable, repack recommendations and Plan-0(Original forecast requirements) using the tags given below the summary.

The Planner shows you the articles which has to be repacked today and in the upcoming days(if any production calendar is set), grouped under their parent(Bulk) item.

The Article to repack is shown with certain details to quickly review the production recommendations.

  • The Quantity has two metrics shown. The above one represents the Quantity to repack. (Requirement - Current_stock). The below units represent the raw requirement of the product over the business.
  • The Stock column shows you the current stock of the repacked item at the warehouse. You can also view the stock of the repacked item in stores by hovering on the link below the stock.
  • The Revenue(REV.) column gives you the quick metric about the overall revenue generated by an item over the past 6 months, along with the Pareto level it falls under.

You can review the products by clicking the checkbox in front of each item row and raise the repack order from the Menu (or) you can also raise orders for all by clicking irrespective of review on the confirmation dialogue.


You can also turn on the repack production to be raised on autopilot: Flight Plan -> System levers -> Repackage Autopilot mode.

You can configure the time at which the repack orders have to be created using Flight Plan -> System levers -> Autopilot Settings -> Productions(repackaging) orders.

Email Reportable

The Eye can generate reports at various configured times and also broadcast them to relevant parties. A reportable can be identified by the mail icon. Where-ever a mail icon is shown, clicking on it will open a report configuration.

The user can then configure the audience of the report, and the way the report should be summarized and split (optionally).

The audience can be comma-separated emails or phone numbers. A telegram message with the report will be sent if a phone number is given. The phone number must be previously opted in to receive messages.

The summary is automatically generated by The Eye as a density table, grouping by the columns specified and counting the number of entries in the unique buckets.

Split by is used to split the report into multiple smaller reports and attach them as separate sheets for detailed analysis.

E.g. a Split by department would generate a single report email with the spreadsheet attachment having 10 sheets - one per department and assuming you have 10 departments. Please note that the split will be ignored if the split generates too many sheets. Approximately about 15 sheets is the limit for the number of sheets in one spreadsheet.

The user can also add filters to the report if they want the report only for a specific hierarchy. After the report configuration, the user sets the timing for when the reports should be generated and sent. Further documentation on setting these timings is provided in the report configuration window itself.

Multiple configurations can be created for the same report. In this way, reports can be sent configured multiple times and for different parties.


Use the send immediate action to execute the report immediately, so that you can review it. You also have the option to add a few more email addresses (like yourself) when performing send immediate for review. Ensure that the report is saved once for the "send immediate" to work.
