Description

Schedule Forge is designed for production scheduling specifically tailored to small manufacturers. It enables the creation of work orders that incorporate multi-step routings and allows these orders to be scheduled against actual line capacity; users can easily drag and drop to make adjustments, causing all downstream tasks to automatically realign. Each job's deadline is tracked throughout its workflow, with late tasks highlighted, and connections between orders indicate how one job may impact another's timeline. Users can explore AI-driven what-if scenarios to evaluate the impact of a rush order or a production halt before finalizing decisions. On the production floor, operators can clock in and out using a PIN kiosk; progress is tracked through good and scrap counts, while routing steps include photos, links, and revision histories for better clarity. A customizable dashboard, along with a daily email summary, helps prioritize what requires immediate attention. Additionally, users can print purchase orders, monitor deadlines, invite team members with defined roles, log in using their Google accounts, and modify names for tasks, projects, lines, and work orders to align with their shop's terminology. The platform also supports REST API, webhooks, and integration with Airtable to enhance its functionality. With these features, Schedule Forge streamlines the scheduling process and improves overall operational efficiency for manufacturers.

Description

It can be used in conjunction with your ERP / MRP, but not as a replacement! Waterloo Manufacturing Software developed TACTIC, a highly customizable, advanced planning and manufacturing scheduling software. TACTIC is suitable for both batch and discrete industry manufacturers. It reduces inventory and supply costs and improves customer service. TACTIC is used by manufacturers to guarantee delivery, plan and schedule production, plan materials and capacity, and deal effectively with problems and changes. TACTIC's advanced scheduling algorithms and what-if options allow management teams to balance what's best for the business with what's best for customers. TACTIC's technical advisors at Waterloo Manufacturing Software offer a variety of pre-sale as well as post-sale services. These services allow you to both assess the technology and gain ever-increasing benefits from its use in your business.
