Scheduler Plus
Infor Scheduler Plus is an advanced, constraint-based system designed for creating optimal manufacturing schedules by coordinating plant activities with market demand and production realities.
The Synchronized Scheduling Engine is the core of the application for applying the principles of manufacturing synchronization. Its primary function is to organize production and generate the most efficient schedule possible. The Synchronized Scheduling Engine aims to optimally assign available manufacturing resources—machines, employees, tools, and materials—while considering all constraints imposed by the LN production site(s) environment.
At a high level, Scheduler Plus provides capabilities for scheduling production sites, which are then visualized for the production planner to analyze, modify, and accept. This includes:
- Modeling
-
Start by specifying the static data specific to your enterprise. Once this task is completed, you can perform day-to-day tasks with Scheduler, such as:
- Loading dynamic data from LN, such as production orders, related planned inventory movements, and stock.
- Running the Synchronized Scheduling Engine to produce the most efficient schedule possible.
- Visualization
- Gain a comprehensive view of your schedule, resource plan, and production operation sequences through various Gantt charts.
- Identification
- Identify any delays or constraints in the schedule that may require re-allocation of resources or other trade-offs.
- Simulation
- Analyze the impact of changes and trade-offs before implementing them.
