Scheduling in practice: a plan you can execute

Finite, not infinite, capacity

ERP planning usually works at infinite capacity: it tells you what is needed, not whether you can make it. The scheduler considers real machine and people availability, with shifts, calendars, skills and maintenance.

The result is an executable sequence, with due dates you can commit to with your customer.

The Gantt as a working tool

The plan is read and edited on an interactive Gantt: move an order and precedence constraints are respected automatically.

What-if simulations show the effect of a rush order or a breakdown before you decide.

Plan and actuals always aligned

Connected to the MES, the scheduler receives actual progress from the shopfloor and updates the plan on its own. Late orders are highlighted and rescheduled in seconds.

Planning office and shopfloor work from the same source of truth.
