Schedule Assistant





Schedule Assistant allows production managers to truly foresee their ability to ship orders on-time and visually identify issues that could create delays.

Schedule Assistant Highlights
  • Allows what-if impact analysis of ad-hoc / expedited orders against the overall on-time shipping performance
  • Integrates with accounting / MRP systems for sales orders and associated BOM / Routing data
  • Integrates with shop floor tracking to include projected WIP as a resource to subsequent operations
Features
  • Calendar tool to define production availability/labor
  • Forward load schedule against resources or reverse load against due dates
  • Drill down detail to allow visualization at plant/area/line/station level detail
  • Drag and Drop orders into time buckets or onto a clipboard
  • Analyze what-if scenarios and save versions of the analysis and commit the desired schedule
  • Differentiates between firm on-hand, in-route, planned and identified shortages
Benefits
  • Enhances the scheduler/planners ability instead of trying to replace them with a team of IT personnel
  • Low cost alternative to the very expensive artificial intelligence scheduling systems
