EnterpriseIQ Manufacturing ERP > Scheduling

The key to manufacturing success is making sure all the resources you need to deliver a product are in place when you need them. EnterpriseIQ Manufacturing's optimized scheduling system identifies plant capacity and generates detailed production schedule from an organization level, down to a plant and even the specific manufacturing work cell to meet delivery goals.

• Global Visual Scheduling provides a graphical view of your entire manufacturing production schedule to quickly identify the best start time, the best machine usage, as well as well as identifying the availability of other necessary constraints such as tools and sub-assemblies.
  
  
• Drag and Drop functionality allows unscheduled work orders to be added to the work center schedule quickly and easily.
  
  
• Schedule an entire work order including subassemblies, secondary operations, as well as outsourced/purchased parts.
  
  
• Drill-down capability provides access to manufacturing job details such as work center, labor, materials, scrap rates, setup times, yield efficiency, parts per calculations, etc.
  
  
• Color coding throughout the scheduling and capacity features helps you quickly identify jobs and resources that are on time, late, or nearing the "late" status.
  
  
• Highlights demand vs. forecasted work orders.
  
  
• Exceptions List quickly identifies materials and tools associated with a work order that will be unavailable or need to be expedited to meet the desired schedule.
  
  
• "Runs-the-Best" functionality quickly identifies which machines will run a job most efficiently based on actual past production information.
  
  
• Automatically load the manufacturing schedule with work orders based on priority and Runs the Best machine information.
  
  
• Flexible Safety Lead Time specifies the number of days prior to the must start date that the system should schedule the production run and can defined per customer.
  
  
• Schedule can be set to adjust automatically to account for unplanned events such as, changing customer requirements, machine downtime, slow machine performance, unavailable raw materials, or pertinent to adjustments from other modules within EnterpriseIQ ERP system.
  
  
• User defined "Time Fences" protect the current schedule against repositioning.
  
  
• Capacity and Material Requirements indicate all material/parts needs to complete the schedule and are provided in a drill-down capacity to see specific details.
  
  
• Supports the scheduling of Preventative Maintenance Work Orders for accurate down time schedules.
  
  
• Compare material consumption against existing inventory in the daily projected requirements form.
  
  
• Infinite Scheduling functionality allows for flexible work center scheduling, dispatch list prioritization, and operator scheduling.
  
  
• Rough Cut Capacity compares work center daily and weekly required hours to available hours to ensure optimal performance.
  
  
• Labor Capacity planning helps determine future demand for labor resources as compared to the standard.
