Production Scheduling Software for Manufacturing
Take Control of Your Production Schedule — and Deliver On Time, Every Time
Fraction ERP gives you complete control over your production schedule — connecting orders, capacity, and materials in one system.
See exactly what's happening
Identify bottlenecks early
Schedule based on real capacity
Why Production Scheduling Breaks Down
Most manufacturers don't struggle with planning — they struggle with execution.
- Machines get overloaded
- Jobs are rescheduled manually
- Delivery dates slip
- Production teams work reactively
The result: constant firefighting and missed commitments.
A Smarter Way to Schedule Production
Fraction ERP connects your schedule to real data — so it reflects reality, not assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is production scheduling in manufacturing?
Production scheduling is the process of planning when and how manufacturing operations are carried out to maximise efficiency and meet delivery deadlines.
What is the difference between planning and scheduling?
Planning defines what needs to be produced. Scheduling defines when and how it will be produced.
What is forward vs backward scheduling?
Forward scheduling plans from the earliest start date. Backward scheduling plans from the required completion date.
How does ERP improve production scheduling?
ERP connects scheduling with real-time data — including orders, inventory, and capacity — making schedules accurate and dynamic.
