The Shop Edge Scheduling EDGE

Potential production bottlenecks are highlighted in several intuitive production screens for quick response and easy schedule manipulation. Your planned build quantities can be easily changed on the fly, removed, reprioritized higher or lower in the priority list or reinserted into your schedule. As changes to the production schedule are made, they are immediately reflected on terminals used by work center operators, plant team leaders, and material planners ensuring smooth transitions and an informed shop floor.
