Production Planning & Scheduling System (PPS) — Manufacturing

Build feasible, optimized production schedules: MPS, finite capacity scheduling, constraints & materials sync, sequence/setup optimization, what‑if simulation with drag‑and‑drop Gantt, pegging, dispatch lists, and ATP/CTP — integrated with ERP/MRP, MES/PLC, and WMS.

Higher ThroughputShorter changeovers & waits
Reliable Commit DatesATP/CTP from real schedule
Lower WIPSmaller queues & buffers

Standard Features

Master Production Scheduling (MPS)

Translate demand/forecast into time‑phased build plans with fences.

Finite Capacity Scheduling (FCS)

Capacity‑aware sequencing by work center/resource and shifts.

Constraints & Synchronization

Materials, tooling, labor, and secondary constraints synced to schedule.

Sequence & Setup Optimization

Changeover matrices, families/colors, and sequence rules (EDD/SPT/slack).

Planning Boards (Gantt)

Drag & drop, split/merge, lock & freeze periods, and batch sizing.

What‑if Simulation

Scenario copies, compare KPIs, and selective publish to operations.

Pegging & Priorities

Full pegging from demand to operations; expedite/allocate rules.

Alternate Routings & Centers

Load balancing, alternatives, and overtime calendars.

Dispatching to Shop‑floor

Release to MES, operator lists, andons/escalations.

ATP/CTP Promises

Date/time promises based on live capacity and material availability.

Bottleneck Management

Drum‑buffer‑rope, WIP caps, and constraint KPIs.

KPIs & Alerts

Adherence, schedule stability, tardiness, and changeover time.

Integrations

ERP/MRP, MES/PLC/IoT, WMS scanners, and Data Warehouse/BI.

Business Benefits

Shorter Lead Times

Less waiting and fewer changeovers boost flow.

Reliable Delivery

Commit dates tied to real capacity and materials.

Lower Inventory & WIP

Better synchronization reduces queues and safety stocks.

Agile Response

What‑if scenarios enable quick re‑plans for disruptions.

Balanced Loads

Alternate routings and calendars level capacity.

Insight & Control

Visual boards and KPIs improve decision quality.
