Features and functionality to look for in an integrated job scheduler<\/h2>\n

<\/h3>\nVISUAL SCHEDULING SYSTEM<\/h3>\n
Agenda screens\u00a0are the most efficient way to keep staff on track and move from one job to the next without delays. If your shop still uses a whiteboard to display the day\u2019s agenda, it\u2019s time to look at upgrading to an\u00a0ERP with job scheduling functionality<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Resource management<\/h3>\n
Automatically organise all the moving parts: staff, materials, equipment, space, delivery logistics and back-office support. Integrating scheduling software with a comprehensive ERP means all your systems talk to one another for seamless resource management and stock control<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Capacity planning<\/h3>\n
In manufacturing, capacity planning<\/a> is a moving feast at the best of times. But with a centralised system tracking staff and equipment capacity, you can confidently schedule work without worrying about overtime hours or overloaded machinery.<\/p>\n
Flexible scheduling<\/h3>\n
Job schedulers should work forwards and backwards at the same time. That means:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Defining the delivery date based on the start date you input<\/li>\n
- Estimating the start date based on the delivery date you define<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
There\u2019s no need to guess at job timelines. Job scheduling functionality does the calculations for you, so the work always gets done on time.<\/p>\n
Finite and infinite scheduling<\/h3>\n
Some resources, like tools and vehicles, are finite; they have a fixed capacity. Other resources can flex; people can work overtime, and teams can work concurrently. Job scheduling software should know the difference between the two and plan accordingly.<\/p>\n
Routing<\/h3>\n
Routing functionality moves a job from one stage to the next in the production process. A smart job management software will schedule the correct sequence of steps so you can track the job without needing to move things along manually.<\/p>\n
Job status and destination<\/h3>\n
Not all jobs go straight to the customer. Destination tracking tied to job status management allows you to keep a close eye on where the finished product ends up \u2013 as inventory, a delivered product, sub-assembly or intermediate step in a longer process.<\/p>\n
