MES - Production Scheduler

Fitfactory’s Production Scheduler is an intelligent, dynamic scheduling engine built for manufacturing SMEs, designed to optimise delivery performance and reduce operational costs by planning production around real-time capacity.

Before committing to any job, users can run a “what-if” analysis to assess capacity constraints and confidently maintain on-time, in-full (OTIF) delivery. The system then dynamically rearranges production jobs to resolve conflicts, maximise resource utilisation, and safeguard future delivery commitments—empowering manufacturers to accept, adjust, or negotiate lead times with confidence and clarity.

Administrative overhead is drastically reduced, as the scheduler models work groups, holidays, absences, shift patterns, subcontracting, and machine availability. It automates job prioritisation and sequencing to align with production capacity, freeing teams from manual planning burdens.
Real-time visibility into the shopfloor lets you monitor performance and spot inefficiencies before they become critical. Scheduling feeds into live dashboards that highlight bottlenecks, work-in-progress levels, OTIF metrics, and available capacity—ensuring you can act quickly and optimally.
Fitfactory Scheduler has made a measurable difference for customers like Kristek Precision, who report that “on-time delivery has gone through the roof,” along with improved planning confidence, increased customer retention, and uplifted staff morale.

With rapid deployment, minimum setup time, and seamless integration into Fitfactory’s MES ecosystem—including Machine Monitoring, SFDC, and Insights—this scheduling tool is designed to boost agility, customer satisfaction, and throughput while reducing planning costs and delivery risk.
