Planning & Scheduling | DynamxMFG

Planning on a whiteboard only works until things change
Most small manufacturers plan on whiteboards, spreadsheets, or in someone’s head. It works until a job is late, a machine goes down, or a priority order lands at 4pm on a Friday. Then everything unravels.

See what you have committed and what you still have room for
The Demand Scheduler maps every open work order against your production calendar. Drag unscheduled jobs into day, week, or monthly buckets. A live capacity bar shows exactly how loaded each period is – and turns red before you overcommit.

The diary view overlays production demand against available capacity so you can check before you promise a delivery date. Filter by production date, received date, or required-by date to find where the pressure is.

Know your capacity before you commit to dates
The Planner gives you every open work order on one timeline. Drag jobs into the days, weeks, or months ahead and watch capacity fill up in real time. When a work centre is overloaded the bar turns red, so you can rebalance the plan before the shop floor feels it.

Reschedule by dragging between time slots. Spot conflicts before they become missed deliveries, and quote new orders against capacity you can actually see. One plan replaces the spreadsheets, the whiteboard, and the version that only lives in the planner’s head.

Make sure materials are ready before production starts
Kitting releases the component pick list to the goods and kitting team before the job hits the shop floor. Pickers use the Advanced Interface to pick, transit, and confirm each item – so when an operator starts a job, everything is already at the bench.

Materials are automatically allocated to work orders when a sales order is released. Where stock is short, purchase demand is raised immediately. The gap between “order released” and “materials confirmed” is closed.
