Finite Scheduling

Scheduling method that respects available resource capacity and does not overload a resource beyond its defined limit.

Examples

  1. 01With finite scheduling, the system will not plan more than 16 hours a day on the CNC centre, so excess orders move to the next free slot.
  2. 02When a customer asks for an earlier date, finite scheduling shows exactly which other order would have to move.
  3. 03Switching from infinite to finite scheduling makes the daily plan realistic, and schedule adherence improves from 70 % to 90 %.
