Manufacturers face numerous constraints on a daily basis as they strive to ship orders on-time and at minimum cost. If equipment, labor and materials were unlimited life would be much easier. The reality of this globally competitive manufacturing landscape, however, is that production managers and planners have limited resources with which to work. PlanetTogether gives you the tools to maximize your utilization of limited resources by creating schedules that take all of your resources into account as schedules are optimized around your business drivers.

Advantages
•Allows users to easily move orders around with PlanetTogether’s exclusive Drag-and-Drop tool feature and always respects constraints while automatically moving other work out of the way.

•Includes advanced scheduling features like overlap, storage constraints, and custom constraints.

•Gives the look-and-feel of Microsoft products for easy usage.

•Manages all constraints by taking into account materials, machines, labor, and tooling.

•Infinitely customizes activity labels on our powerful Resource Gantt and Job Gantt.

•Shows resource utilization and availability by looking at an organized Capacity Plan graph and grid.

•Highlights problems, like bottlenecks, in red so you’ll never miss a scheduling conflict again.

How to know if you need a new Scheduling Tool:

1. You spend too much time creating plans and schedules today. (Maybe in Excel?)
2. It is too hard to change a schedule when requirements change, machines break down, or materials aren’t available.
3. You are missing opportunities to reduce Inventory Levels.
4. Your resources often sit idle.
5. You pay too much over time or material expedite fees.
6. It is to hard to share the results of your scheduling effort with the shop floor.
