Chapter 15 Software Designed for Production Scheduling
With previous chapters as a background, let’s recap the requirements for planning and scheduling software necessary to create a schedule that can be executed by the production operations and that maximizes their efficiency while meeting customer requirements. Specialized scheduling software helps to create the schedule quickly, providing the agility and flexibility to meet disruption. Typically, its use reduces scheduling effort by about one-third and increases the site’s production efficiency by 5%–30%, resulting in greater throughput, which usually more than justifies the cost of the new software.
