NK Production Planning
Realistic production schedules built around real machine capacity and shop-floor conditions.
Spreadsheet schedules go stale the moment a machine breaks down, material runs late or a rush order arrives. NK Production Planning builds the schedule automatically from machine capacity, shift calendars, maintenance and material availability, then searches for the sequence that meets due dates with the least setup time. Planners review it on a Gantt chart and the shop floor runs it from a dispatch board. The screens below are design mockups using a weaving mill as the example.
