Production schedule must-haves
Are you still planning your production using a whiteboard or a spreadsheet? Here are the ten features our customers value most when switching to our planning solution.
1
You stay in control, the software doesn't take over
Not a black box. Move a job or task with drag and drop, and see the impact immediately. Just Plan It supports your decisions, it doesn't replace them.
2
A priority-based engine you can actually trust
No PhD in mathematics required. Give each job a priority, and the engine schedules around it, using clear, transparent rules you can explain to anyone on your team.
3
Straightforward editing, no training required
Click a job, task, or resource to edit it directly, through simple, focused dialogs.
No steep learning curve, no unnecessary complexity.
4
Handle real-world disruptions in a few clicks
Machine down? Need an extra shift? Adjust resource calendars and exceptions in seconds, and let the engine recalculate the impact instantly.
5
A schedule that reflects what's actually happening
A schedule is only accurate until something changes, and something always does. Just Plan It keeps your plan current with shop floor data, automatically.
6
See what matters, at a glance
Late jobs show up in red automatically. Build your own color rules for whatever matters most to you, bottlenecks, key customers, critical materials, and spot it instantly.
7
Your whole team, no extra cost
Just Plan It charges per plant, not per user. Add your whole team, planners, viewers, and operators, at no additional cost.
8
Start with Excel, grow beyond it
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.
9
Turn scheduling data into better decisions
Export job, task, and capacity reports to Excel, compare plan versus actual, and use the insight to sharpen your next scheduling round.
10
Built specifically for make-to-order job shops
This isn't generic scheduling software adapted to fit you. Just Plan It is purpose-built for make-to-order manufacturers: highly individualized orders, small batch sizes, and a focus on machine resources over people scheduling. That focus is exactly why we can offer it at a price point built for smaller manufacturers.
