Scheduling is a key aspects of a custom shops and high mix operations--specifically operations that suffer from constant change in deadlines, customer requirements, and slipping on time deliveries. Note also, that any scheduling environment must take into consideration the current work load, the system constraints, new orders, and customer expectations in order to provide a complete and effective scheduling environment.

With Simcad Pro, a virtual replica of the business is graphical built along with its constraints defined and implemented. The model can then be dynamically tied in to ERP/MRP systems or RFID for dynamic loading of the current state. In addition, Simcad Pro connects to order entry systems to pull upcoming orders and delivery dates, along with changes in the model constraints. Based on that information, Simcad Pro continuously monitors the flow and generates the optimum schedule that decreases lead time and increases efficiencies.

Simcad Pro maintains the investment in the model building, value stream analyzer, and efficiency analysis to include dynamic scheduling for resources (workforce) and objects per workstation. The generated schedule is geared toward reduced work in progress, increased efficiency, and most importantly reducing lead times and increasing on time delivery.

With the upcoming Thin Clients (Summer 06), Simcad Pro extends its capabilities to support the sales force in promising attainable delivery dates based on current workloads.

Plan ahead, reduce risk, and increase efficiency with proper planning..
