that actually enjoy work
The next gen of global manufacturing programs now run on Plane
From concept to launch, in one place
Sub-programs, phase gates, deliverables, and risks each get their own type. Every one rolls up to the program above.
Audit-ready by default
Every change, approval, and comment logs with author and timestamp. Ready for IATF, VDA, or customer audits.
Built for IP-sensitive programs
Self-hosted, air-gapped, or regional. Vehicle architecture, chip designs, and supplier data never leave your perimeter.
Manage complex manufacturing workflows, end to end
Run vehicle, equipment, and silicon programs from concept to launch
Sub-programs, gates, deliverables, and risks all live on one program record through every team rotation.
Move engineering changes from proposal to released part
Variants, plants, suppliers, and design records all live on one change order through every approval.
Run supplier work from onboarding through corrective action
Qualifications, audits, scorecards, and corrective actions all live on one supplier record across every region.
From a defect on the line to a recall in the field, on one record
Defects, corrective actions, dealer bulletins, and regulator filings all link from production lot to verified closure, with the audit trail preserved at every step.
AI and agents, inside the perimeter you choose
Plane AI runs in your region, VPC, or air-gapped. Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Azure, or local model. Your IP stays inside the perimeter, and no provider trains on your data.
Draft program briefs and CCB summaries from the work
Agents follow the same RBAC and approval gates as your team
Bring your own model: OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Azure, or fully local
Run global manufacturing on cloud, self-hosted (on-prem), or air-gapped
Enterprise Cloud (Managed + Private)
Managed by Plane with regional residency, or single-tenant private cloud.
Self-hosted + Air-gapped
Run Plane in your VPC, data center, Kubernetes, or Docker. Offline updates, zero external calls.
Identity and access
SAML, LDAP, SCIM, RBAC, and workspace permissions on every record.
AI under your control
Customer-controlled providers, local models, or self-hosted AI workflows.
Audit trail on every action
Every state change, edit, comment, and approval preserved with author and timestamp.
Publish externally
Share boards and views with stakeholders outside Plane. Collect feedback without giving full project access.
Move off Jira Data Center
Migrate work, mappings, and history without rebuilding workflows from scratch. Manufacturing programs don't pause for a tool migration.
Workflow translation, not rebuild
White-glove migration team
Issue types mapped to Work Item Types
Custom fields and history preserved
FAQs
Common questions from operations, quality, supplier development, and IT teams.
Yes. Plane's migration team maps your Jira issue types into Work Item Types, ports your workflows, and preserves comments, attachments, and history. No rebuild from scratch.
Yes. Work Item Types give each kind of work its own properties, templates, workflow, and required fields.
Yes. Each work type can follow its own workflow with its own reviewers, gates, and escalation rules.
Yes. Suppliers, customers, and auditors submit work through Intake forms with no Plane account required. Read-only published views can be shared with them under role-based access.
Yes. Every state change, edit, comment, and approval is logged with author and timestamp. Exportable for assessor review.
Yes. For most manufacturers, Plane Cloud with regional residency is the right starting point. For IP-sensitive programs (chip design, vehicle architecture, capital equipment), Plane deploys self-hosted on Docker, Kubernetes, private cloud, or fully air-gapped.
Yes. Plane integrates with Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE, SAP, Oracle, and MES via API and webhooks. Plane is the work and approval record, not a replacement for your PLM or ERP.
Plane Cloud offers regional residency in the EU, US, and APAC. For programs with stricter data sovereignty needs, self-hosted and air-gapped deployment keep data inside your network.
