Schedule automatically, adjust by hand
Our engine builds a realistic, finite-capacity schedule based on your real priorities and constraints. When something changes, drag and drop it, the rest of the schedule recalculates instantly. You stay in control; the software does the heavy lifting.
See details
Four scheduling strategies, set globally or per job:
- ASAP: forward from the earliest start date, for maximum resource utilization
- JIT: backward from the due date, to keep work-in-progress low
- ASAP+: forward, also factoring in the end date, to cut unnecessary lead time
- JIT+: backward, also factoring in the start date, to improve throughput
Also included: hybrid scheduling (manual + automatic) · simultaneous scheduling of machines and employees · overlap via send-ahead quantity · split-task functionality · job networks via linking · one employee operating multiple machines (resource usage level)
