Every metal fabrication shop faces constant changes such as rush orders, variable material deliveries, and shared equipment. Using PlanetTogether APS as your production scheduling software helps manage shop constraints, track material shortages, and balance complex routings. APS brings order and control to high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) scheduling so your manufacturing processes stay on track.
Improve Job Scheduling Accuracy
Advanced production scheduling software helps ensure the right jobs are sequenced and prioritized, reducing missed deadlines and costly errors.
Reduce Lead Times
Optimized production plans minimize bottlenecks, idle machine time, and waiting for materials, leading to faster job completion and delivery.
Boost Shop Floor Visibility
Dashboards provide clear insight into job status, resource use, and production constraints across the entire shop.
Increase Equipment Utilization
Automated scheduling and resource allocation make the most of available machines and tools, maximizing throughput and capacity.
Adapt to Order Changes Quickly
Flexible planning lets you respond fast to rush jobs, cancellations, or late-arriving materials, keeping production flowing.
Minimize Material Waste
Smarter alignment of inventory and job requirements helps reduce excess material usage, scrap, and rework.
