Production scheduling is designed to produce optimized detailed schedules for single and multi-stage scheduling problems, often where there is a choice of multiple resources in each stage.
Production scheduling is designed for both discrete and process environments and considers a variety of constraints or rules including changeover transition times, routing requirements, resource preference, sequencing, demand priority, and concurrent states.
It can provide interactive problem solving and automatic optimization techniques. Suppliers with complex manufacturing operations can use this solution to improve their throughput.
Capabilities of the i2 solution for production scheduling can include:
- Ability to create production schedules based on constraints
- Ability to create complex rules and data to automatically solver designed to create high-quality schedules
- Collaborative planning and scheduling
- Improved visibility to constraint violations with manual and automatic resolution capabilities
Benefits of the i2 solution for production scheduling can include:
- Reduced inventory
- Increased production throughput (asset productivity)
- Increased labor productivity through improved scheduling
- Improved planner productivity
- Reduced overtime and premium freight
- Improved production schedule adherence
- Reduced production changeover times
