Production Scheduling Made Easy!
Why does scheduling production in a manufacturing plant have to be so complicated? Some plants have been known to use Excel spreadsheets or even dry erase boards for planning production runs. Eventually, no matter what type of manufacturing is being performed, as a plant grows it requires a flexible Scheduling System. Even though each plant may have its own problems and goals, a tailored system that works with simplified procedures will help to improve ineffective practices.
These systems help manufacturers create the most optimal schedules, while meeting a number of important priorities.
There are companies that offer configured Production Scheduling Software. One of these companies is Shop Floor Reporting (SFR). Unlike most scheduling software, SFR offers Advanced Planning Systems (APS) and tailored manual systems. http://shopfloorreporting.com/production-scheduling-software/production-scheduling-software.htm is a great page that describes their scheduling capabilities.
The best APS will include Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize the schedule. This technology is available in finite and master scheduling systems alike and has been used in scheduling for almost a decade now. Most AI based systems are capable of finding opportunities that a human simply won’t pick up on and can be indispensable. Most AI based systems are goal oriented and pursue a host of constraints including customer satisfaction, on-time distribution, corporate forecast, efficient machine loading, raw materials optimization and logistics, finished goods logistics and inventory optimization and even capacity and forecast optimization among other goals.
Tailored software can offer AI that prioritizes and balances your goals. It offers a collection of manufacturing modules and specializes in complex scheduling problems. An “off-the-shelf” or canned system can be very effective, but the best solution is tailored software. They are able to solve problems that a boxed solution cannot. Successful APS require flexibility to meet each plant’s needs.
This is a good blog on production scheduling The Production Scheduling Blog. The blog offers a lot of information on scheduling and capacity planning.
