Machine Scheduling

Allows the user to schedule down to the machine level for operations that must run on that specific machine or where one machine is a better choice based on it’s capacity, speed, or capabilities.

Tool Scheduling

The ability to schedule tooling constraints such as dies, jigs, fixtures, molds, consumable machine tools, or other tooling where availability impacts production scheduling.

Material Constraints

Schedule production considering on-hand, available inventory, current production orders, and open purchase orders to ensure that production orders aren’t scheduled if materials aren’t available or won’t be available soon.

Schedule Reports

Utilize work center and machine dispatch reports for a clear view of currently scheduled production orders and operations. View reports to identify required resources for scheduled production orders.

Rough-Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP)

RCCP schedules open production orders against finite capacity constraints. Optionally, the orders selected can be released. Orders are loaded and scheduled in sequence based on priority, constraint dates, and production order number. The availability of material is considered including supply orders such as purchase orders, transfer orders, or component production orders.
