Advanced Production Planning & Scheduling

Advanced Production Planning & Scheduling

Smart PPS helps manufacturers plan production accurately, track every job as it moves through the plant, and deliver on time - without relying on spreadsheets or guesswork. It covers planning, scheduling, execution, and reporting in one system, so you always know what's happening and what's coming next.

Modules

Powerful Modules for Complete Production Planning

Smart PPS combines scheduling, execution, capacity planning, real-time visibility, reporting, and workflow control into one integrated platform—helping manufacturers optimize operations, adapt to changes quickly, and make smarter production decisions every day.

Scheduling

  • Build schedules based on priority, setup time, and machine availability.
  • Test different scheduling approaches before committing.
  • Run "what-if" scenarios on real or hypothetical data - without touching your live plan.
  • Schedules update automatically as real production data comes in

Operational Detail

  • Track exact setup, run, and teardown time for every operation
  • Automatically reroute work to an alternate machine when one is unavailable or overloaded
  • Group related machines into work areas that match your actual plant layout

Execution Control

  • Start the next operation on finished units before the full batch is done
  • Split large orders into smaller batches for faster partial delivery
  • Every job moves through queue → pending → running, so nothing starts without approval

Visibility & Decisions

  • See real-time capacity across every work area
  • Spot overload or idle capacity before it causes a delay
  • Full timestamped log of every planning decision, change, and override

Handling Surprises

  • Slot urgent orders and last-minute changes into the active plan using priority rules
  • Log and categorize machine downtime by cause to spot patterns

Production Reporting

  • One screen for operators to manage and report production - no separate software needed
  • Quality checks built directly into the workflow
  • Offline data entry continues during network outages and syncs automatically once restored

Capacity & Calendar

  • Adjust calendars for holidays, overtime, or emergency shifts without changing your base schedule
  • Break times factored into capacity automatically

Flexible Scheduling Controls

  • Set clear priorities for urgent and high-value jobs, while controlling exactly when the scheduling engine runs.
  • Right work gets scheduled at the right time.

Everything You Need to Know

Smart PPS builds schedules from real priorities, setup times, and machine availability, then updates them automatically as production data comes in - so the plan always reflects what is happening on the floor.

Yes. Smart PPS supports planning and reporting across multiple work areas and locations, so you can manage capacity and priorities consistently no matter how your operations are structured.

Yes. Smart PPS connects with your existing ERP, so you keep the systems you already use and add planning and scheduling on top of them.

It shows real-time capacity across every work area and flags overload or idle time before it turns into a delay, with automatic rerouting when a machine is unavailable.

Planners, production managers, and shop-floor supervisors - planners build and adjust the schedule, while operators report progress against it on a single screen.

Both. Choose on-premise or cloud deployment, with control over who sees what and a full record of every change.
