For manufacturers who plan against real machines and real crews.
Planners keep the trade-offs, the floor keeps the schedule honest, and finance sees margin against standard as it happens.
Planners, the floor and finance, working from one schedule.
Planners
Check the data, generate the schedule in one action and stay in charge of the trade-offs.
- Hard rules for changeovers, allergens and material feeds
- Recovery plans to review and approve when a line goes down
Production and shift managers
Plan and actual side by side on one Gantt, with any run lighting up the chain it depends on and the work it feeds.
- A slow line shows while the shift can still recover it
- Crew needed run by run, against the staffing on hand
Operations and finance
Planned against projected margin by site and operation, with the biggest opportunity named.
- Cost from captured readings where the floor has them
- Modelled projections labelled as such on the card
