A new software release from Shuttleworth Business Systems has automated the process where, as jobs are created, amended or deleted, they are automatically prioritised according to sophisticated rules. The new rules are said to ensure the best possible fit for the current workload.
The whole process can be completely automated by setting a timer at intervals determined by the planner. As the planning system automatically updates, jobs are updated and prioritised using the new rules. Real-time bookings from the data capture system are continually fed into the schedule and the whole MIS is updated with progress against plan.
Shuttleworth joint managing director Paul Deane asserts: "The new automated production planning functionality will make a huge difference to how companies plan and manage work through their business. We have worked long and hard with our users to identify the best way we can help improve this process. This great piece of software is a result of that work."
