And some more sites

We're getting close to the end of the survey of good sites that deal with Production Scheduling. There are two more entries for today.

The first is called Master Production Scheduling. There are quite a few articles here. Some of them are: SaaS (Software as a Service), Open Source ROI, and web-based scheduling. There are also links to directories, portals, and some providers.

The other site is Manufacturing Scheduling. Like the site above, there's an article on ROI. Others involve optimizing your planning time and a brief overview of the benefits of a scheduling system.

Still more Scheduling sites to look at

What a way to start the week! Here are a couple more good sites to look at about Scheduling. The first one has some nice info about producing a realistic manufacturing schedule. Other articles look at the differences that may occur between a scheduling system used for Production and one used for R & D.

The other one for today has a couple of articles on Constraint Based scheduling. There is also a good page about Advanced Planning Software, as well as some dealing with Artificial Intelligence.

That's about all for now. There are still a few more that I should mention, so those will have to be saved for a future date.

Production Scheduling Systems

Throughout the years, we've developed quite a lot of varied Production Scheduling Systems, some using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to further increase the system's productivity. Our range of clients has also been quite broad, going from state and national Government contracts, to TeleCom, to AeroSpace, to Stone Counter shops, to a manufacturer of custom towels.

One of the newer ones deals with Capa (Capable to promise capacity planning solutions). Check the site out. It has lots of new, interesting info for those of us who are looking to the future of Production Planning Systems and Production Planning Software.

Another neat site is one that deals with all aspect of these planning solutions. This site provides an overview with good, basic information.
