line for flex or line specific models.
- Ability to
adjust requirement due dates based on shipping lead time for multiple
destinations which allows parts to be scheduled in such a way inventory
can be minimized.
- Ability to minimize and smooth overtime usage
across multiple lines based on optimal conditions and/or user specified
shift preferences.
- Capability to manage multiple constraint types
that consider –
- Customized scheduling process: for

smooth schedule.
- Considers planned down time due to part change
over / line setup, line efficiencies, scrap rates and part cycle times.
