Production plan: orders, capacity and due dates
Businesses in Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol and Cardiff get the same fixed-scope approach and a named contact who replies within a working day. When production is planned with spreadsheets and whiteboards, machine clashes, late orders and idle machines go unnoticed. The system places work orders on machines and shifts, calculates due dates and warns of delays in advance.

Plan
Each work order is entered with product, quantity, duration and machine. The system checks capacity, shows clashes and suggests placing the job on a suitable machine and shift.
Planning rules and priorities are set by the company.
Changes and reports
When a rush order comes in, the plan is recalculated and affected orders are shown. A weekly report gives management machine utilisation and late jobs.
Advanced optimisation algorithms are assessed separately.

UK-specific points
UK manufacturers work with small batches and high precision, so planning must be flexible and cope with short-term changes. Screens work in DE, FR, IT or EN, units are metric and the currency is GBP.
