Does the material check require a clean BOM?

It needs a usable BOM, the same one Business Central needs. If your BOM data is poor, this check will show it, but you don’t need a separate clean-up project first.

Is setup time included in the capacity check?

Yes. Setup, processing and teardown all consume capacity, and setup-aware ordering cuts setup where it can by batching jobs with the same colour, alloy or temperature. Capacity numbers include setup and teardown along with run time.

How fresh are the capacity and material numbers? Is it real-time?

Real-time. Both checks read live Business Central data on every move and every Auto-Plan run. There’s no nightly batch and no stale stock figure, so what you see is what the warehouse and the floor have right now.

Can the material check use components still in-process from another production order?

Yes. An item being produced by an upstream order counts as an expected receipt once that order is confirmed, dated at its planned completion. The downstream order can be scheduled against that expected output as well as against PO receipts.

Produktionsplanung

uScheduler Production

Ein Produktionsplan, den du wirklich umsetzen kannst.

Die meisten Tools für die Produktionsplanung zeichnen schöne Gantt-Diagramme, mit denen niemand arbeiten kann. In uScheduler Production ist jede Zelle auf der Plantafel eine Entscheidung, die du treffen kannst. Zieh einen Auftrag, und Kapazität, Werkzeuge, Qualifikationen, Reihenfolge und Materialverfügbarkeit aktualisieren sich sofort. Passt etwas nicht, siehst du es direkt. Auto-Plan schlägt einen Ausgangspunkt vor, und der Planer verfeinert ihn. In der Fertigung ändert sich nichts, bis der Planer freigibt. Das Ergebnis ist ein Plan, den du ohne Erklärung auf einen Bildschirm über der Linie stellen und im Vertriebsmeeting vertreten kannst, wenn jemand fragt: „Wann können wir liefern?“

uScheduler Production · Capacity & Material Availability

Capacity and parts, checked together.

A plan only works if the machine hours and the components both line up on the day. uScheduler checks capacity and material availability in the same pass, at planning time and every time you drag, so a move that would start without hours or without parts is flagged before it's committed.

Live capacity, in-line

Every view shows available hours against committed hours, per work centre, machine centre, shift, day or week. Overload shows up where it happens, right on the board. The capacity picture follows you across the app.

BOM-aware material check

The check goes down to the BOM line. Each item, quantity and date is checked against on-hand stock, expected receipts and existing reservations. Shortages are named, with the missing component and the date.

Expected receipts respected

If a PO is due Tuesday, the plan won't use that material before Tuesday. It looks at incoming receipts as well as what's on the shelf, so nobody in the warehouse gets a surprise at 06:00.

Was du siehst

The two checks that decide whether a plan ships.

Capacity-only planning produces a clean schedule that the warehouse breaks at start-of-shift. Material-only planning ignores the bottleneck on the floor. Both have to be true at once: hours available, parts available, on the same day, on the same order. uScheduler checks both together, so if a move breaks either one, you see why straight away.

Capacity and material checked together on every drag and on every auto-plan run
Per work centre, per machine centre, per shift, per day load visualisation
Material checked per BOM line while you plan, including stock, receipts and reservations
Per-component shortfall report with proposed action (delay, substitute, expedite)
Holidays, planned maintenance and shift exceptions respected automatically

Wann das wichtig ist

Anzeichen, dass du das brauchst.

Shortages discovered at 06:00

A plan that doesn’t check materials finds out at start-of-shift. The first hour is lost, and the customer date with it.

Capacity is a spreadsheet

A capacity report that lives in Excel is a snapshot of a moment that has already passed. Planning needs it live, next to the moves.

Plans assume infinite parts

Capacity-only tools schedule onto green machines with empty bins. The plan looks clean; the floor is angry.

Overload is discovered too late

A constraint that becomes visible on Monday morning is a Monday-morning crisis. Visible last week, it’s a Tuesday move.
