Scheduling jobs in a high-mix low-volume manufacturing environment is a complex and demanding task. Fortunately, just plan it with its' automatic finite scheduling capabilities provides invaluable assistance in this regard and allows you to adapt to your individual scheduling requirements in a unique way. In this blog post, I want to show you, how to schedule operations that you want to be started and finished within one shift. We call them time-sensitive operations and the reason behind this requirement is that the operation should not be interrupted during processing.
In manufacturing, there are sometimes processes that should not be interrupted when an operation is started. Think of painting, vapor deposition, electroplating, and similar procedures. Do you know that just plan it allows you to seamlessly incorporate these time-sensitive operations into your production schedule? By simply
With this automatic finite scheduling approach, you can easily manage these time-sensitive operations. Don't worry if it sounds a bit complex at first– my colleague Dave will demonstrate it in a video, where he'll also provide a concise overview of how just plan it works.
