Reliable Production Planning for Automotive Suppliers
Manage Complexity & Boost Efficiency with TAKTIQ
Day-to-day operations in production planning at automotive suppliers are complex. A wide variety of variants, changing order programs, fluctuating utilization, and increasing cost pressures must be reliably managed in component and subassembly manufacturing.
To maintain a clear overview and plan effectively, automotive suppliers need transparency regarding utilization, bottlenecks, and the impact of program changes. TAKTIQ makes this possible as software for reliable production planning and intelligent line balancing.

Challenges in Line Balancing at Automotive Suppliers
A large part of planning time is spent adjusting line balancing to accommodate changes in order programs, quantities, and variants. Without direct feedback on the impact on utilization and bottlenecks, problems often do not become apparent until they reach the production floor. This results in additional coordination efforts and unnecessary delays in planning and manufacturing.
Variety of Options in Component Manufacturing
Different component variants and configurations result in widely varying tasks and make it significantly more difficult to perform line balancing.
Cost of Adaptation in the Event of Changes
Even minor changes to variant designs, quantities, or tasks require a time-consuming revision of existing line balancing schedules.
Lack of Transparency Regarding Bottlenecks
Changes in the order program move the utilization of individual workstations without it being immediately apparent where bottlenecks are developing.
Manual Planning Without Validation
Many planning processes rely on manual methods. The effects of changes often do not become apparent until they occur in production.
- Mapping of variants and their impact on tasks and capacity utilization along the entire assembly line.
- Quick adjustment and evaluation of line balancing when variants, quantities, and tasks change.
- A clear illustration of the effects on workload and bottlenecks for each workstation and station.
- Simulation of production scenarios so that production decisions can be evaluated in advance.
Plan With Confidence, Make Decisions Faster
Greater Transparency in Planning for Automotive Suppliers with TAKTIQ
TAKTIQ links the relevant data from your production process and makes connections between line balancing, workstation utilization, and order programs immediately visible. Changes are automatically evaluated so that their effects can be identified early on. This creates a reliable foundation for stable and efficiently managed production.
Here’s How TAKTIQ Supports Automotive Suppliers in Their Day-to-Day Operations:
Nutzen Sie Umfangreiche Analysefunktionen und visualisierte Kennzahlen, um Varianten und Fertigungszeiten detailliert zu bewerten. Simulieren Sie die Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Auftragsprogramme und nutzen Sie die flexible Variantenverknüpfung mit beliebigen Merkmal-Regeln, um eine reibungslose Produktion sicherzustellen.
Schneller Planen – besser entscheiden! Interaktive und automatische Austaktungsfunktionen ermöglichen es, die Auswirkungen jeder Anpassung vorab zu erkennen und Feinabstimmungen einfacher vorzunehmen. Automatische Workshop-Protokolle und Reports, sowie die reibungslose Multi-User Planung mit zeitlich versionierten Planständen erleichtern zudem das Arbeiten im Team.
- Live-Kalkulation von erwarteten Auftragsterminen auf Basis von Echt-Termin
- Rückmeldungen aus Fremdsystem oder händischer Vorgabe

- Einhaltung oder Verletzung von Reihenfolgeregeln anzeigen
Our Customers Agree
Maximilian Remmele Head of work preparation at Kramer-Werke„TAKTIQ is indispensable for us because it creates transparency, digitally maps our employees’ knowledge and noticeably increases capacity utilization. From our point of view, there is no better software for line balancing. “
Dr. Björn Boßman Head of Planning Assembly at Mercedes„With TAKTIQ’s interactive line balancing, we save a lot of time in line optimization. Maintaining process requirements directly in the software ensures that solutions can be implemented in practice. The flexible simulation of various line balancing scenarios and order programs with TAKTIQ saves us additional time and creates transparency for well-founded decisions. “
Thomas Felder Production Planning and Control„For us, TAKTIQ is a helpful tool for making production data understandable and actionable. Potential opportunities and anomalies become apparent more quickly, allowing us to take more targeted action. This supports the continuous improvement of our processes. “
Mike Appenmaier Head of Process Planning at Dethleffs„TAKTIQ helps us to visualize tasks and processes. We recognize where waste occurs, can specifically evaluate special orders and continuously improve our production times. This creates transparency and makes fluctuations manageable. “
Raimund Schwierz Product Owner PP & WFM at CLAAS„Considering the complexity of the software, it is surprisingly easy to use. Overall, it is very intuitive and, in my opinion, the best solution on the market. I particularly appreciate the fast support – there is always a quick solution to any queries. “
Dominik Hammerl Global Lead Manufacturing Innovation at AGCO„TAKTIQ makes our assembly and order planning more transparent, intuitive and faster. With constant changes to cycle times, product mix and assembly rates, TAKTIQ allows us to maintain an overview and avoid bottlenecks in the assembly line despite high capacity utilization. Finally, we always have a sympathetic ear when it comes to implementing new software requirements and ideas. “
