(JSI), announced the world's first simulation-based <b><font color="#0000ff"> Finite Capacity Scheduling</font></b> system in August, 1984.  Since that time, JSI has specialized in scheduling software to improve  manufacturing on-time performance, and supports all current popular philosophies of scheduling.  </p> <p>JobTime has been applied successfully in discrete, repetitive, process, engineer to order and assemble to order manufacturing.   </p> <p>JobTime also gives you the modeling power you will need for Advanced Planning and Scheduling <b><font color="#ff0000">without</font></b> forcing you to learn computer programming.  We can show the typical shop scheduler, <b><font color="#0000ff">with 3 days of basic training,</font><font color="#ff0000"> </font></b>how to to accurately model your shop constraints for any environment, including make to order, assemble to order, engineer to order, and process manufacturing operations.    </p> <p>JobTime also supports longer range <b><font color="#0000ff"><a href="JT_Level4.htm"> Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS)</a> .   </font></b>APS supports the supply chain, because it can see customer forecasts, vendor deliveries, and assured scheduling that will synchronize both material and capacity constraints over a long-term planning horizon.   Forecast demand and/or planned orders can be input from either ERP or JobTime's own <font color="#0000FF"><b> JobPlan </b></font>module to generate future work loads of 12 to 18 months into the future.  </p> <p>All JobTime scheduling products are <b><font color="#ff0000">Y2K compatible</font></b> and give <font color="#0000ff"><b>detailed scheduling</b></font> on each operation step of every work order, even down to the minute, while recognizing multiple resource constraints, and sequencing to optimize and group like setups in bottleneck work centers. </p> <p>JobTime's Advanced Planning and Scheduling can recognize <font color="#ff0000"><b> BOM make-item assembly</b></font> constraints, <font color="#008000"><b>ERP material supply pegging allocations, </b></font> all with <font color="#0000ff"><b> supporting activity drill-down, </b></font> accurately

<p>JobTime helps you rapidly model the most detailed and challenging scheduling problems, without the need for complex computer programming, because JobTime modeling is based on standard data entry
