Scheduling in a high-mix, high-volatility manufacturing environment is difficult, at best. ERP scheduling modules, paper travelers, scheduling spreadsheets, and white boards can no longer keep up with the pace of change. But if you just accept the resulting lack of forward visibility into shop floor operation status and demand, you accept too many hidden costs. These are spelled out in the “unseen scheduling issues” e-book available on this page. You can change this situation. nMetric scheduling software gives you the tools you need to dynamically and proactively manage change. It was created by manufacturers for manufacturers. Watch this short video for an introduction to their concept of self-routing “Smart Jobs,” the basis of nMetric Smarter Scheduling®.

Phenix planning and scheduling software uses Aligned Product Wheels™ to optimize changeovers and inventory, and align production with the business’s customer service, cost and working capital goals. Schedules determine the sequence and timing of the production of hundreds or thousands of different products across multiple production lines. Correct production sequences minimize changeover costs. Every out of sequence product complicates the changeover and wastes time and money. Correct cycle times balance changeover and inventory costs. Cycles that are too short or too long cause customer service and inventory problems.Volatile demand, erratic supply, and internal plant and staffing problems force schedulers to frequently deviate from plan and reschedule. Phenix product wheels assign product families to lines and optimize the production sequence to minimize changeover loss.

StartProto seamlessly integrates with your existing workflows. From quote to cash, modernize all your manufacturing processes and optimize your operations with our lightweight but powerful software.
