Plan your activities efficiently and interactively
Production planning is vital for any company, as it involves the efficient allocation of raw materials, resources and processes. The Sistrade Software Scheduling module is an advanced Gantt chart-based production planning system designed to optimize your company's activities. In this way, we ensure efficient production within the established deadlines, allowing for economical and balanced management of resources.
The digital transformation supported by the Sistrade Scheduling solution:
Advantages
- Anticipating deviations in production in real time
- Prevents unscheduled downtimes and delivery delays
- Organised and up-to-date stocks, avoiding a material shortage
- Less waste and lower costs in production
- Complete integration with shop floor
- Automatic sync with production data collection
- Machine setup time reduction
- Auto-optimisation
- Easily assigned employee/operator work
- Performance monitoring and control support
- Increase in productivity
- Simulation and comparison of production planning scenarios to simplify decision making
DYNAMIC GANTT PLANNING
Based on a dynamic Gantt chart and in constant communication with the shop floor, we ensure rapid management and manipulation of information relating to job orders, so that the planner can make informed decisions. Aiming at better production coordination and a rapid response to unforeseen events, the chart incorporates a colour legend to alert the user to the different statuses of the manufacturing order, making the job orders management faster and more intuitive.
Features
- Drag & drop in Gantt
- Job orders displayed in Gantt
- Colour bar indicating if JO is scheduled, produced or outside the scheduled date
- Automatic scheduling recalculation for a better machine occupancy rate
- Gantt zoom in or zoom out
- Parametrise operation time
- Outsource particular tasks
- Dynamic planning with start/end indexing and delays
- Auto-adjustable settings including delays and events
- Generate and export Gantt to PDF
TABULAR PLANNING
Tabular Planning allows you to configure production in a table format, providing all the information needed for decision-making. As in the Gantt chart, operations can be adjusted and moved via Drag&Drop, facilitating time and resource management.
SCHEDULING CRITERIA
The advantage of this tool is the definition of planning criteria according to the business needs, allowing different scenarios to be created and manipulated. Criteria can range from a business perspective, such as customer ABC classification and delivery date, to a process perspective, such as raw material type, tool and equipment availability. Automating this sequence of operations reduces the time and cost associated with planning, making it more efficient and less complex.
ACTIVITY PLANNING BY EMPLOYEE
Employee Planning makes it easier to allocate operations to different teams, allowing for detailed and efficient management. By assigning operations to employees, you can define quantities to be produced, add comments and daily observations, ensuring complete and organised documentation for the production manager.
OPTIMIZATION TOOL (AI)
Anticipate opportunities for improvement with our AI-based optimisation tool. This tool suggests improvements to planning according to selected criteria, such as machine occupancy load. These suggestions can be accepted or rejected by the user, who must then recalculate or update the planning.
SCHEDULING SCENARIOS
Sistrade Software allows you to test and compare different planning scenarios to identify the most efficient one. Based on criteria such as the percentage of delayed job orders and machine occupancy, the system helps to maximise productivity without compromising the shop floor.
LOAD CHART
The importance of continuous improvement for companies is the question of survival. In terms of scheduling, Sistrade Software provides reports and dashboards for data analysis that lead to more efficient and optimal scheduling. Presented in three-dimensional format, the load chart allows you to analyse the total capacity of resources, comparing current capacity with maximum capacity. Identify and resolve production bottlenecks, adjusting planning to maximise productivity.
MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF DELIVERY DATES
The Sistrade Scheduling tool offers an interface for managing and controlling delivery dates, ensuring that planning is followed and allowing changes as necessary. This makes it possible to provide production dates with greater accuracy.
DYNAMIC PLANNING
Our planning tool is in constant communication with the shop floor, dynamically updating itself with real production data. The Sistrade Data Acquisition System (DAS) provides accurate real-time information, such as production data and production status, to ensure greater planning accuracy.
MULTI-USER AND MULTI-FACTORY PLANNING
Allow multiple users to plan simultaneously, setting specific permissions to avoid overlaps. Plan manufacturing orders separately for different plants, controlling each production unit independently
DASHBOARDS
Sistrade Software reports and dashboards allow for continuous planning analysis, comparing predicted production with actual production. This way, the manager can identify areas for improvement and continually optimise the production process.
