Production Scheduling & Control
The heart of the System is the Production Scheduling & Control module. This module:
- Integrates on-floor production control and data capture with back-office systems in real-time.
- Provides management with plant or enterprise wide information and control;
- Matches sales orders (demand) against agendas, purchases and product inventory data (availability);
- Ensures product specification compliance;
- And calculates the optimum production mix and scheduling for a given period.
The System allows production planners to:
Monitor and control on-floor production and orders in real-time
Make changes to planned production, sales orders or carcass inventory
Efficiently forecast schedule and control production enterprise-wide, with orders and production then being allocated via the network to each processing plant.
Factor in costs during production planning and scheduling calculations.
And calculate all costs per product and per order in real-time as production proceeds.
