Production Planning & Scheduling (PPS)

The Transfact Production Planning and Scheduling module (Transfact PPS) allows you to follow-up, supervise, plan and control your production processes; providing you with accurate, real-time information about all the details in your entire production.

Real-Time Production Overview and Tracking

With the Transfact PPS Module you can have a general overview of all the production areas in one single clear screen shot offering first hand information such as:

• All production areas & resources
• Daily & Weekly Utilization
• Current Work Orders

Production Monitoring and Control

You have a complete work order overview that gives you the most important and relevant information about your Work In Progress (WIP), such as:

• Planned & Real Costs
• Progress (%)
• Delays
• Status and Priority

Capacity Planning and Scheduling

The PPS modules provides customizable charts and tables showing the capacity details necessary for the production planning, including information such as:

• Overdue Orders
• Running Orders
• Forecasted Orders
• Available Capacity
• Status Information for each Work Order
• Status Information for each Routing Step

Dispatching Lists

Running lots are shown for operators in easy access dispatching lists that summarize the most relevant information of the current status of the lot.
The dispatching lists are automatically sorted so that all lots are processed on the right time according to their priority.
Highest priority work orders are automatically organized & identified by colors.

Dispatching Lists Sorting Criteria

The sorting criteria can be selected and customized according to the planning priorities of your production:

• FIFO, FCFS
• LIFO
• SPT, SPRT (Shortest Processing Time / Shortest Process Remaining Time)
• Earliest due date, critical ratio, WINQ, etc.

Transfact General Sorting Criteria:

1. Manual Priority
2. Delay (closest due date first)
3. Buffer left (lowest first)
4. Energy Optimization Opportunities
