SchedulePro is a finite capacity scheduling
(FCS) tool for batch and semi-continuous manufacturing processes. Some
typical applications for SchedulePro include:
- Production Planning and Scheduling
- Resource Management
- Capacity Analysis
- Plant Debottlenecking
- Cycle Time Reduction
- Modeling and Design of Multi-Product Facilities
SchedulePro uses an intuitive recipe-oriented representation of a
manufacturing process. It handles resources such as equipment, work
areas, labor, materials, utilities and inventory capacity. It allows for
interruptions in the availability of resources to account for shift
schedules, holidays, and planned maintenance. SchedulePro is compatible
with SuperPro Designer and can
readily import its recipes.
