Enables you to operate with a strategic plan
Instead of reacting to events with expediting and other ad hoc measures, the scheduling system enables you to operate pro-actively with a strategic plan that expresses your shipping and inventory objectives.
Enables any company to use strategic planning
Strategic planning is achieved by using common sense item order policies and allocations. Any company can learn to use these simple settings without need for special expertise.
Provides reliable and achievable shipping dates
Instead of guessing when orders can be shipped and hoping those dates can be met, the scheduling system automatically generates target shipping dates that are consistent, achievable, and can reliably be furnished to customers.
Instills confidence that dates are realistic and meaningful
Instead of resorting to hot lists, material hoarding, and other workarounds caused by a lack of trust in system dates, your shop personnel will gain confidence that master schedule dates are realistic and can reliably be used to guide shop activities.
Eliminates manual date adjustments
Instead of tediously adjusting a complex web of interdependent dates, the scheduling system automatically adjusts job dates when jobs are released to production.
Eliminates manual expediting
The scheduling system eliminates all the time spent on inefficient and costly manual expediting formerly needed to get jobs through the shop. Work center sequences are now automatically prioritized so that jobs trending late are automatically expedited to meet their required dates.
Dramatically boosts your manufacturing efficiency
Using the master schedule to translate your strategic inventory objectives into an overall action plan will dramatically boost your manufacturing efficiency, which is your ability to fulfill customer orders quickly and reliably using the least amount of inventory and WIP.
