Production planning based on the workload of people and machines
A deadline that sounds realistic in a meeting and one production can actually meet are not always the same thing.
Why deadlines get promised before capacity is checked
When a new order is agreed with a customer, the deadline is often estimated from experience, without visibility into how busy workstations and people already are. If that estimate turns out to be wrong, the delay is only discovered once it is too late to change anything without affecting delivery.
A view of assignments before you promise a deadline
A view of assignments across people and workstations, priorities and remaining work helps with planning before a new deadline becomes a commitment. Instead of a guess, you can see how much work is already scheduled and where there is room for a new order.
Deadline guidance, not a final decision
The deadline guidance makes delivery estimates easier based on the current workload, but the decision still belongs to your team — the system provides visibility, it does not replace the conversation with the customer. When priorities change, you see immediately how that affects other scheduled jobs, not only once a worker reports a delay.
Planning that follows real work, not the other way round
The goal of planning is not a perfect schedule made in advance, but visibility that updates as work actually happens — when an operation slows down or speeds up, the plan reflects it right away. If you would like to see how this fits your way of working, arrange a demonstration.
