Finite
Scheduling Software
For 25
years, JobTime Systems, Inc. has been proud to lead the transformation
of the world’s production scheduling software,
to create powerful finite scheduling
software. The term ‘finite’ not
only means ‘limited’ but also emphasizes ‘real-world’, from the
viewpoint of the actual shop planners and schedulers. The supply of shop
capacity is based on shop departments, work centers, machines, and
working calendars. (learn

Capacity
Planning and Visibility of the Shop Schedule
Every
shop is concerned with capacity load across all departments.
JobTime®5 makes capacity
load visible rapidly and responsively. Our interactive Schedule Board
displays BOTH machines and resources, and drag & drop moves all labor &
tooling resources when you move a given operation on a machine to a
different time. JobTime®5
displays 30 graphs and reports; you can add unlimited custom reports
and share them selectively on the Internet.

Secondary Resource Constraints
Beyond the basic constraints of
calendars and machines, many manufacturers need schedules to consider
both availability of a given machine plus available secondary
resources such as labor, tools, preferred machines for select parts, and
subsets of tools allowed on other parts. Accurate modeling of shop
operations is the key to effective production scheduling across varied
styles of manufacturing. (learn

Assembly Constraints. The
Bill-of-Material product structure is an invaluable tool that shows how
parts assemble to make a final finished product.
JobTime®5
assures that parts are not scheduled until
feeder work orders are finished.
JobTime®5 creates
schedules that can be actually be followed on the shop floor. The
in-house assembly of internally fabricated items depends on logically
scheduling the supporting make components. This feature provides timely
scheduling of internal make items, to assure the smooth assembly of
higher items. (learn

Setup
Efficiency.
Some shops need to schedule jobs to maximize setup changeover
efficiency.
JobTime®5
gives
you two options: exact setup matching, in which tasks in the same
setup-state follow each other with zero setup time, or a
setup-changeover time matrix, allowing precise definition of changeover
time from each setup-state to any other.
JobTime®5
automatically optimizes the sequence of operations to minimize the total
time a given work center spends on setup changeovers, thereby maximizing
the time work centers spend on active production.

Advanced Planning and Scheduling.
ERP vendors increasingly seek to
enhance classic master scheduling, not only by adding Finite Scheduling Software
but also adding multi-plant scheduling for Supply Chain and also precision
materials scheduling. Multi-plant scheduling allows accurate capacity
scheduling to supercharge your supply chain.
JobTime®5 helps
materials planning and plant capacity
scheduling work seamlessly together in a single framework to better
control both capacity and materials.
