Finite Scheduling
Production Planning
Finite Scheduling
Scheduling method that respects available resource capacity and does not overload a resource beyond its defined limit.
Examples
- 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.
- 02When a customer asks for an earlier date, finite scheduling shows exactly which other order would have to move.
- 03Switching from infinite to finite scheduling makes the daily plan realistic, and schedule adherence improves from 70 % to 90 %.
