Production Planning

uScheduler Production

A production plan you can actually execute.

Most production planning tools draw beautiful Gantts that nobody can act on. In uScheduler Production, every cell on the board is a decision you can make. Drag an order and capacity, tooling, qualifications, sequencing and material availability all update instantly. If something doesn’t fit, you see it right away. Auto-Plan suggests a starting point and the planner fine-tunes it. Nothing changes on the floor until the planner commits. The result is a plan you can show on a screen above the line without explaining, and defend in a sales meeting when somebody asks “when can we ship it?”

The plan and the score, on the same screen.

One screen, refreshed continuously, shows on-time completion, capacity utilisation, schedule adherence, setup hours lost, late orders and forecast vs actual throughput. A planner can see whether the floor is winning, and a controller can answer the same question without a spreadsheet.

The KPIs that actually matter
On-time start, on-time finish, schedule adherence, capacity utilisation, OEE-style availability, late orders, setup time as % of run time. Pre-built, no configuration.
Up to date, all the time
Every tile reads straight from the same data the floor is writing. There's no nightly job and no warehouse hop, so when an operator reports time, the number on the screen moves. Yesterday's on-time is on the screen before this morning's standup.
A floor view for the wall screen
A second, read-only layout designed for a TV above the line: large type, no chrome, the KPIs that matter to that area auto-rotating. The number the planner sees on their laptop is the same number the floor sees on the wall.
What you see

A dashboard you read every morning.

Most dashboards get checked once a quarter. uScheduler puts the KPIs on the same workspace as the plan, so a planner sees yesterday’s score before they touch today’s plan. Opening the tool means seeing the result of your last decisions.

  • On-time start, on-time finish, schedule adherence
  • Capacity utilisation per work centre and aggregated
  • Setup hours as % of total run hours
  • Late orders, days late, EUR exposure
  • Throughput: planned vs actual per shift

When this matters

Signals you'd reach for this.

01
Reports come from accounting
When the only “are we on time?” number comes from finance month-end, planners are blind during the month.
02
Targets are aspirational
A 95% on-time target without a daily readout is wishful thinking. Visibility creates accountability.
03
Improvement is invisible
A 2-point on-time improvement is real money, if anyone can see the trendline.
04
A KPI in Excel changes nothing
A number pasted into a deck once a month arrives too late to act on. Improvement needs the readout next to the work, refreshed while the shift is still running.
