This allows you to link production orders together. If the planning of one order changes, the associated orders automatically shift with it. This prevents something from being overlooked or scheduled twice.

Machines, resources and people

Assigning machines and people is also done smarter. The system itself checks which resources are available and suitable for a job. This saves time and helps to better distribute staffing, especially if you work with multiple production lines or have limited capacity.

With some resources - such as collection carts or tools - it is convenient if they can be used simultaneously in several processes. Scheduling takes this into account. You avoid unnecessary waiting and make better use of what is already there.

Off-hours scheduling

Do you sometimes have to produce outside normal working hours, for example because of an emergency? Then you can adjust your planning accordingly. This keeps your planning realistic, even when it's busy.

Better planning not only makes the work on the floor clearer, but also gives planners and managers more peace of mind. Less manual shuffling, fewer last-minute changes and more insight into the consequences of choices - that helps in making decisions and in delivering as agreed.
