Optimize Plant Production Schedules

Oct. 2, 2009
Proficy Scheduler operations management software provides an interactive, visual tool designed to help planners create and maintain more dynamic and effective production schedules based on resources and asset capacity. 
The software provides an integrated view of the production plan and resources across a plant that enables optimizing and balancing the plan with the impacts and constraints of resources such as materials, energy, labor, equipment and delivery times. Tasks facilitated include: advanced schedule optimization; forward and backward planning; extended plan horizons; project resource planning; manpower planning; what-ifs with material and inventory simulation; sequence and group planning; and booking of facilities and equipment. Developed in conjunction with Novotek Planning Systems, of Denmark, Proficy Scheduler operates as a stand-alone system or fully integrated with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and/or Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).GE Fanuc Intelligent Platformswww.gefanuc.com800.433.2682
