en.Wedoany.com Reported - On July 7, 2026, global footwear manufacturer TKG Taekwang completed the deployment of VMS Solutions' advanced production planning solution, MOZART 3.0, to enhance its responsiveness to complex make-to-order environments.
With over 50 years of experience in footwear R&D and manufacturing, TKG Taekwang operates a global manufacturing network, supplying high-value footwear products to several major sports brands. As order and manufacturing requirements in the footwear industry continue to diversify, production planning must rapidly reflect various constraints such as manufacturing bases, production line operations, capacity, and delivery schedules. The company previously faced challenges in centralized management across multiple manufacturing bases, as the legacy planning system was operated independently by each subsidiary. Replanning for specific production lines required a full reschedule, leading to extended planning cycles and heavy manual integration efforts.
By adopting MOZART 3.0, TKG Taekwang can centrally manage production plans across multiple manufacturing bases and subsidiaries within a single planning environment, and supports selective replanning only for affected production lines. The solution's planning engine and interactive editing features provide the flexibility needed to handle complex production constraints. Tailored to footwear manufacturing characteristics, the mapping management between product categories and production standards has been simplified, and production operation conditions and mixed-product manufacturing rules can be managed more intuitively, reducing the burden of master data management. Planners can view system-generated plans on screen and adjust them based on actual shop floor conditions, automating tasks that previously required manual adjustments.
Post-deployment, the execution speed for major planning scenarios has improved approximately four to five times compared to the previous environment. Additionally, the ability to generate plans for multiple subsidiaries and perform selective replanning for required production lines has significantly shortened planning cycles, reducing planners' manual workload by over 50%.
TKG Taekwang stated that the improved planning speed and selective replanning capability have enhanced overall production planning efficiency. The greater flexibility to adjust planning priorities and detailed conditions based on actual operational requirements is a key advantage of the solution. A spokesperson for VMS Solutions noted that this deployment demonstrates how global footwear manufacturers can improve operational flexibility by integrating planning across multiple manufacturing bases and selectively replanning only when necessary. VMS Solutions will continue to help manufacturers streamline production planning processes and respond quickly to rapidly changing manufacturing environments.
