This key part of an ERP system can unlock a whole raft of improvements for a business. Production scheduling software is an integral part of an ERP system, ensuring that your operations are sequenced and timed for optimal productivity.

Why is it key?

When your production scheduling system works, you can:

• Generate work to lists for your teams.
• Review and manage the capacity of your work centres.
• Provide meaningful delivery dates for your customers when you are quoting / acknowledging orders.
• Plan for future resource levels; labour, machinery and shift patterns.
• Spend less time on administrating production and more time on growing the business.

Fraction's production scheduler

We've created a simple drag and drop production scheduling tool that is available on our entry level subscription level.

As soon as you generate a works order, Fraction ERP automatically schedules the operations for the next available date. With the visual drag and drop scheduler you can fine tune the operation start dates.

We offer a free two week trial of Fraction ERP, to help you properly evaluate our ERP system. This gives your team a chance to put some test orders through our system and see if it can really do what you need an ERP system to do.

In the meantime, if you are wondering if production scheduling software can make a difference to your manufacturing business, the short answer is yes!
