Desperate due to
inefficient scheduling?
•
•
•
The construction of an acceptable production schedule requires each week several
hours cumbersome work and resembles a
wild juggling with color blocks.
Nevertheless, the deadlines often cannot be
met.
The raw material inventory is kept high so
that production can react in a flexible way to
demand changes.

high transparency thanks to schedule
visualization and pre-defined tables for
reporting purposes
no superfluous investments thanks to a
better use of capacity
Our solution: Schedule++
This sophisticated scheduling software package
was developed specifically for the needs of the
process industry (chemicals, pharmaceuticals,
cosmetics, food...). It provides an elaborate
visualization of the schedule and moreover
enables the planner to keep an overview of all
resources necessary to production (machines,
manpower, raw materials...) at any time. Various
scheduling algorithms, e.g. for the optimization
of capacity and of the cleaning effort, are
available.
Therefore,
several
scheduling
scenarios can be analyzed before confirming a
plan change. Thus an optimal use of the
production capacity can be achieved.
Unlike other APS systems, Schedule++ can be
used as an add-on to the most established ERP
systems (e.g. SAP R/3). Therefore no specific
server and no own data management are
needed, which drastically reduces the installation and administration effort.
The advantages at a glance:
•
•
•
•
•
realistic and exact scheduling thanks to the
easy representation of complex situations,
such as in case of sequence-dependent setup and cleaning times or of limited buffer
tank capacity, even with numerous processes and resources
customer satisfaction thanks to the feasibility
of the schedule that follows from the
simultaneous planning of capacity, machine
allocation and materials availability
daily time savings thanks to the high userfriendliness of the Windows interface which
can easily be customized
easy simulation of plan changes ("what-if"analyses), with no consequences on the
ERP side as long as the planner does not
confirm the changes explicitly
rapidness thanks to the LiveCache
technology

increased flexibility thanks to shorter
production times
less non-productive assets thanks to the
reduction of raw material inventories and
storage areas.
