Proficy Scheduler
Summary
Proficy Scheduler—powered by ROB-EX, is a Finite Capacity Scheduling system that helps planners create and manage more dynamic and effective production schedules based on resources and asset capacity. An interactive graphical view of the production plan across the plant, with its view of future resource impact, enables planners to optimize and balance the production schedule with materials, energy, labor, equipment, and delivery times. With automated rules, easy-to-configure routes and resources, Proficy Scheduler leverages the knowledge of the planner to help optimize and balance the production plan quickly, as often as needed.The product can be configured to the needs of manufacturers of varying types and sizes to easily and effectively accomplish tasks, including:
•Re-planning and optimizing production plans forward and backward
•Managing and evaluating complex consequences
•Detecting and avoiding bottlenecks and materials shortages
•Providing timely information to others about the schedule, resources, and due-date compliance
While useful as a stand-alone planning tool, combining Proficy Scheduler with Proficy Plant Applications creates a powerful tandem, integrating real-time tracking of actual production, consumption and events with their impact on schedule adherence and empowering you to:
•Obtain orders and bill of materials from ERP systems automatically
•Forecast order completion times based on real production rates and efficiencies
•Optimize and balance the production plan with resources
•Track actual measured production, consumption, waste, and yields and update ERP systems automatically
•Provide reports and analysis tools
Leverage your production knowledge and experience to quickly create and adjust production schedules with Proficy Scheduler – powered by ROB-EX. Gain agility in your scheduling function and better, more viable production plans with the power of Finite Capacity Scheduling proven to deliver results:
•Reduce order lead time by up to 30%
•Improve delivery date conformance
•Improve plant operational efficiency by up to 20%
•Decrease time spent on planning activities by up to 50%
•Increase responsiveness to production variations
•Reduce order inquiry response time to minutes
•Detect and avoid bottlenecks and materials shortages in advance
•Reduce inventory safety stocks and expediting
