Modules

Our Scheduling & Capacity Planning module fully automates the sequence in which you prioritise your work load and provides an early warning system of any possible bottlenecks enabling you to react proactively to ensure your customers receive their orders in full and on time.

Meet your production requirements dates by running a schedule which initially looks at the required completion dates for your pending works orders. Then based on your individual resource (machines / work centres) capacities the system automatically calculates the best and most efficient sequence in which to schedule the outstanding works order operations.

Minimise your production cycle and cater for outwork correctly using this module which provides expected start and end times and dates per operation which is then used by our ‘work to list’, an invaluable report which lists, by resource, all the works orders in the correct order that they should be carried out.

Backwards scheduling (where the systems schedules from the works order requirement date backwards from the last operation) is catered for enabling you to complete production for the requirement date without any time lag. This is typically useful in the food industry and for industries manufacturing
perishables or finite life products which of course shouldn't be standing around for too long.

Forwards scheduling (where the system schedules from the earliest start date forwards from the first operation) is also catered for enabling you to load up your load up your resources / machines with work and fully utilise their capacity.

With graphical and reporting means in which to compare your resource capacities against the work that has been scheduled against them, as well as bottle neck identification, you will also have the ability to see which resources are not being fully utilised.

Economically schedule your work through the ability to specify resource types resource types as either infinite (where you can schedule multiple jobs at once on a resource) or finite (where a resource will only allow one job at a time.

For further flexibility we also integrate with other popular third party planning tools such as Preactor.
