A Gantt chart that re-sequences
Drag or stretch an order and the ones that follow on the same machine shift along, respecting the calendar, shifts and closures. A mistake is undone with one click, hours included.
xPlanE · production scheduling
The machine schedule, without redoing it by hand every morning.
Orders come from the ERP and line up on the machines. You drag them on the Gantt chart, and the ones after them move by themselves. Actual progress comes from the MES: xPlanE tells you which orders will finish late and proposes the correction.
A web application on your company server: use it from the browser, in the office and on the shop floor.
Features
The production planner's questions
Which machine is free, when this order will finish, how much alloy is needed on Tuesday, what slips if that order is brought forward. xPlanE answers on the plan, not on a separate spreadsheet.
Compaction
Choose a period and a machine, and xPlanE closes the gaps forwards or backwards without changing the order sequence.
Suggested duration
From the quantity still to produce and the machine's real capacity, xPlanE flags the durations that do not add up and suggests the right one.
Progress from the MES
Parts produced come from the shop floor: the end date is projected at the real pace, and late or early orders go into the proposals queue.
Alloy requirement
How much alloy, of which type and on which day: reports by week, day by day or cumulative up to a date, with critical orders highlighted.
Weekly plan in Excel
The shop-floor plan with machines, orders and notes by role, ready to print or send: what used to be written by hand.
Installation
On your server, connected to your ERP
xPlanE reads orders from the ERP and leaves the master data there: the plan is the only thing it governs. Internal orders and maintenance are added by hand, on the same Gantt chart.
- Web application on Windows Server and SQL Server
- Users and roles with protected access, change log on dates and durations
- Working calendar, holidays and shifts
- Connects to MES Foundry for progress, but also works without it
- User interface in English and Italian
