Scheduling techniques should not be contained within a single plant. With Kinaxis Enterprise Scheduling, company-wide best practices are unleashed. Comprehensive scheduling is created across the entire organization allowing for more integrated strategies, regardless of the plant layout. With an easy to understand and modify scheme, you can turn plant-specific processes into measurable activity across the entire company.
Assembly Shop, Production Line, Flow Shop, Job Shop, Hybrid Flow Shop, Open Shop. And you can mix-and-match different layouts in one application, with the same interface and capabilities, to account for each location’s methods.
Whether entering in changes manually, or dragging existing scheduled blocks to a different day/time, everything is easy with interactive visualization in real-time.
Take all constraints, such as material, resources, time and sequence, into account to create executable production schedules.
Don’t rely on one-way communication from planning to scheduling. As Enterprise Scheduling is native to Maestro™ (formerly known as RapidResponse®), there is a feedback loop in both directions to ensure everyone is aligned.
