Schedlyzer Lite - A simple, powerful tool for scheduling custom woodwork
At any time, a typical custom
woodworking unit simultaneously pursues
multiple projects (jobs) of different
types and sizes using a limited set of
resources. Such units can be describeed
as job shops engaged in order-driven,
high-variety production. Our article on
scientific management of job shop production
describes the difficulty of managing
order-driven, high-variety production in job shops. Control and management of production in custom woodworking units is difficult due
to:
For the same reasons, it is difficult to predict progress and
completion times of projects. Lack of such prediction causes more anxiety to meet the stringent due dates and leads to early starting of projects, longer lead times and
increased firefighting to expedite projects which are likely to be late.
Our software tool, Schedlyzer is powerful and useful for efficient production scheduling in custom woodworking units. It optimally schedules multiple projects subject to limited capacity of resources for increasing on-time delivery and throughput and for reducing WIP and job lead times.
Schedlyzer Lite, a lighter version of Schedlyzer is also useful for the same purpose but it is most economical among all powerful scheduling software for job shops. Read our web pages, Schedlyzer and Schedlyzer Lite for further details of these two tools.
Our scheduling software handles uncontrollable natural variation in the system and facilitates fast and extensive what-if analysis of schedules and proactive capacity planning. It has elegant, interactive graphic user interface for drag-and-drop operations on Gantt chart.
Benefits of Our Scheduling Software in Woodworking:
A Free, Fully Functional, 60-day Trial Copy:
Practical utility of a scheduling tool for any specific production unit can be correctly evaluated by using it with real data for some days. For this reason, we freely offer duly configured, fully functional, 60-day trial copy of Schedlyzer or Schedlyzer Lite. Contact us for a free trial copy. Before giving the free trial copy, we would first present a live web demo of Schedlyzer Lite and configure the copy as required for your system. We would also offer you free help during trial runs.
