Greater Flexibility In Planning
In creating the Capacity Planner, we incorporated modern development and presentation techniques that are a little different to traditional scheduling tools. Our goal was to achieve a balance between a full lights out, automated planning approach versus a completely manual tool.
Our philosophy is that you plan with flexibility, given that you produce different types of work. It allows you to plan forward or backward or alternatively, plan around your bottlenecks. This means that you schedule your scarcest resource or most critical dates first. From that point, the Capacity Planner will auto plan to achieve an efficient workflow, while maintaining hands-on control.
Why Choose the Capacity Planner Module?
The Capacity Planner delivers critical and constantly changing information to your entire business. Whether it be account managers looking for available capacity, production staff needing a work-to list or your management team looking for high and low level updates, everyone has access.
Avoid purchasing and managing multiple software applications as the Capacity Planner module is part of the printIQ solution. This means there’s no additional data to setup and maintain, and planning data is updated in real-time through-out the system. A change in the planner is instantly reflected on job tickets and production boards without the need for a sync or time delay.
