Capabilities of Preactor

Preactor Advanced Scheduling

All products in the Preactor AS range are interactive multi-constraint scheduling systems. This means that the availability of resources, additional constraints,such as tooling, and materials are all taken in to consideration during the scheduling process to ensure an accurate model of your environment. Orders can be scheduled quickly using intelligent built in rules and the planner also has the ability to manually interact with the schedule to make changes based on their experience or new information.

Scheduling Benefits:

- Better resource utilization
- Reduction of setup and changeovers
- Reduction of inventory and work-in-progress
- Detailed visibility of the production load
- Faster what-if scenario modeling
- Improved on-time delivery
