Zemeter's Finite Scheduler
A Roadmap
for Installing a Successful Scheduler
A common sense approach for supporting and enhancing the scheduling
function. |
The production schedule is the last step before assets
are committed to production. Zemeter's finite scheduler is fully
integrated with supply planning so that business plans can be realistically
converted to production batches. The scheduler uses state-of-the-art
algorithms to sequence production activities and optimize resource
allocation in continuous time.
Detailed production schedules are a prerequisite
for true capable to promise capabilities. They provide the visibility
into the production facilities so that customer requests can be
evaluated against capability to make realistic promises. Benefits
of utilizing a Finite Scheduling solution are usually found in production
cost reductions.

"More Ways to Yes"
Far more than a black box that provides the
user with a simple yes or no answer, Zemeter's ATP/CTP capabilities
are designed to enhance the order fulfillment process by providing
complete visibility into the supply chain.
Not only does it support the initial order promising process,
Zemeter tracks orders in jeopardy, monitors performance against
promises, tracks shipment performance, and provides the infrastructure
to create alternative fulfillment strategies like alternate
products, alternate shipment locations, and alternate production
resources.
Typical benefits include a 5 to 10% reduction
in missed due dates on top of the savings obtained by better
planning.
