XSCHEDULING is a new generation tool for effective long-term and short-term production scheduling and rescheduling. After the orders are received and put in the system, they are automatically sorted and grouped by similar parameters. The system then generates a simulation of the production schedule and execution sequence in a way that optimizes the material usage and equipment configuration for each order. Afterwards the schedules are automatically sent to the designated work centers and equipment and production can begin. Moreover XSCHEDULING calculates and reports the conversion of materials, eventual scrap and you have the possibility for further manual adjustments for maximum efficiency.
The result from employing XSCHEDULING is a reduction of the total time needed for completing an order which allows for more orders to be processed in a shorter period of time.
