Single Platform for Full Production Planning

Rayterton PPS provides complete control of production planning and scheduling. It manages MPS, finite capacity, constraints, sequence optimization, what if simulation, pegging, and dispatch lists. The platform integrates with ERP, MRP, MES, and WMS to give real time visibility.

Designed for manufacturing operations

Rayterton PPS is built for manufacturing companies that need feasible schedules. It handles complex operations like alternate routings, bottleneck management, and constraint handling. The system supports multiple work centers and shifts under one platform.

Configurable and scalable

The platform supports custom rules for MPS, FCS, and sequencing. Teams can configure constraints for materials, tooling, labor, and secondary resources. The system scales from single sites to multi facility operations.

Planning and scheduling

Standard Features and Capabilities

Build feasible schedules with MPS, finite capacity, constraints, and materials sync. Use sequence optimization, what if simulation, Gantt boards, pegging, and dispatch lists.

Master Production Scheduling

Translate demand and forecast into time phased build plans with fences. Set planning horizons and manage production schedules.

Finite Capacity Scheduling

Capacity aware sequencing by work center, resource, and shifts. Balance loads and optimize resource utilization.

Constraints and Synchronization

Materials, tooling, labor, and secondary constraints synced to schedule. Ensure all resources are available before production.

Sequence and Setup Optimization

Changeover matrices, families and colors, and sequence rules like EDD, SPT, and slack. Reduce changeovers and improve throughput.

Planning Boards and Gantt

Drag and drop, split and merge, lock and freeze periods, and batch sizing. Visual boards for easy schedule management.

What if Simulation

Scenario copies, compare KPIs, and selective publish to operations. Test different scenarios before committing to a schedule.

Pegging and Priorities

Full pegging from demand to operations. Expedite and allocate rules for priority management.

Alternate Routings and Centers

Load balancing, alternatives, and overtime calendars. Manage multiple routing options and capacity.

Dispatching to Shop Floor

Release to MES, operator lists, andons and escalations. Send schedules to production teams.

ATP and CTP Promises

Date and time promises based on live capacity and material availability. Provide accurate delivery dates to customers.

Bottleneck Management

Drum buffer rope, WIP caps, and constraint KPIs. Identify and manage production bottlenecks.

KPIs and Alerts

Adherence, schedule stability, tardiness, and changeover time. Track performance and get alerts for issues.

Business benefits

Business Benefits and Value

Rayterton PPS delivers measurable improvements in throughput, lead times, and inventory levels.

Shorter lead times

Less waiting and fewer changeovers boost flow. Optimized schedules reduce queues and improve throughput.

Reliable delivery

Commit dates tied to real capacity and materials. ATP and CTP provide accurate delivery promises.

Lower inventory and WIP

Better synchronization reduces queues and safety stocks. Feasible schedules minimize work in progress.

Agile response

What if scenarios enable quick re plans for disruptions. Test and adjust schedules when issues arise.

Balanced loads

Alternate routings and calendars level capacity. Distribute work evenly across resources.

Insight and control

Visual boards and KPIs improve decision quality. Real time visibility into production status.
