Production Scheduling

Context

Discrete and batch manufacturing scheduling across machining, assembly, finishing, and packaging work centers. Integrates with ERP (SAP PP, Oracle Manufacturing, Epicor), finite-capacity scheduling tools (Preactor, PlanetTogether, Opcenter APS), MES, and CMMS.

When to Use

• Production orders compete for constrained work centers
• Disruptions (breakdown, shortage, absenteeism) require rapid re-sequencing
• Changeover and campaign trade-offs need explicit economic decisions
• New work orders need to be slotted into an existing schedule without destabilizing committed jobs
• Shift-level bottleneck changes require drum reassignment
