Production planning
Turn customer orders into a production schedule by line, machine and shift. Materials and capacity are checked before the plan reaches the floor, so surprises show up in the office, not on the line.
What's included
- 01
Schedule by line and shift
Assign each order to a line, machine and shift, with its start date, run time and person responsible.
- 02
Materials checked first
Before an order is scheduled, the system checks its bill of materials against stock and pending purchases.
- 03
Capacity at a glance
See how loaded each line is this week and next, and where there is room for a new order.
- 04
Changeovers taken into account
Group similar products and plan changeovers so lines spend more time producing and less time switching.
- 05
Changes for the whole plant
When an urgent order moves the plan, supervisors and purchasing see the new schedule right away.
- 06
Plan against actual
Compare what was planned with what each line actually produced, shift by shift.
How it works
- 01
Load the orders
Customer orders come in from your ERP, the distributor portal or a spreadsheet.
- 02
Build the plan
The planner assigns orders to lines and shifts, with materials and capacity checked as they go.
- 03
Release to the floor
Approved orders become work orders that supervisors see on the plant app.
- 04
Adjust as needed
When something changes, the plan is updated once and everyone works from the same version.
Who it's for
Plants with several lines
Manufacturers that need to balance orders across lines, machines and shifts.
Planning and production teams

What you gain
- One production plan that the office and the plant both trust
- Material shortages caught before the run starts
- Room for urgent orders found without guesswork
- Fewer last-minute changes on the floor
