Overview

What’s the right approach to production scheduling for your business? Well, the answer is, it depends. In this session, we’ll cover four unique approaches to production scheduling: backwards infinite, forward finite, whiteboard, and cell scheduling. Based on our experience implementing advanced planning and scheduling tools for hundreds of metal fabricators, we’ll discuss the best time to leverage each approach; their pros and cons; and which ones produce the most effective shop floor schedule. By the end of this session, you’ll have better insight into which approach is best for you, and what ERP features you’ll need to support that approach.
