MES Module Production Planning (PP)
Convenience functions for efficient and error-free production planning: Assign orders and operations to workstations using drag and drop, enjoy uncomplicated early or late scheduling, automatic checking and listing of rule violations (adherence to delivery dates, availability of operating resources …).
The Most Important Functions at a Glance
- Dynamic calculation of the set-up time depending on the planned sequence of operations
- Automatic consideration of capacities available, e.g. personnel, material, other operating resources
- Adaptive resource visibility: When manually scheduling an operation, only designated resources are displayed
- Scheduling of production order networks
- Consideration of alternative work operations or work schedules including necessary transport and idle times
- Checking for individually definable rule violations, e.g. for sequences, dates, capacities
- Alternative planning scenarios as a basis for decision-making
- Grouping of production orders and batches into campaigns/planning groups

Detailed Scheduling: Gantt
Convenient Planning – Error-Free and Effective
Module Detailed Scheduling: In Detail
Professionally planning the production and planned orders is fundamental to a cost-optimized production. This is the only way for you to meet delivery dates, reduce throughput times, lower production costs and at the same time react flexibly to changes in planning. The FASTEC 4 PRO module Detailed Scheduling helps you to cope with these complex requirements. It consists of several tools that saves you a lot of time compared to planning methods with spreadsheets or planning boards, e.g.
- Evaluations and dashboards provide information on the current status of production and facilitate readjustment in the event of deviations from the plan
- Gantt chart displays, which include current production data and machine states in real time, provided you also use the MES module Machine Data Acquisition (MDA)
- Ergonomic and user-friendly operation, e.g. by simply moving orders in the Gantt chart using the drag and drop feature
- Visualize the effects of changed planning on other orders immediately
- Idle and waiting times between operations and production runs are taken into account in the production plan
- Consider required capacities for processing the work steps automatically
- Consider alternative operations or work plans including necessary transport times and idle periods
- Optional scheduling of production order networks
- Check for individually definable rule violations, e.g. for sequences, dates, capacities
- Alternative planning scenarios for comparing different strategies
Thanks to the partially automated scheduling, your planners have the necessary flexibility to act individually and safely – and are thus relieved in their everyday decision-making processes.
