With multiple machines and new jobs coming in, it can difficult to know how to best organise your resources to optimal production scheduling. The Fitfactory Scheduler intelligently plans in jobs according to live capacity availability to optimise resources and plan production to achieve delivery efficiencies and cost targets, effortlessly.
When you’re about to accept a job, you can perform a What-if Analysis in the scheduler to see if you have capacity or not.
The system automatically rearranges jobs in production to find the optimal pattern to achieve current and future commitments.
This gives you the information you need to accept, or request a new delivery date; helping you achieve OTIF targets and maintain customer satisfaction.

If you are really interested in the scheduler, and would consider moving to a fitfactory system, we’re happy to help you with this transition.
