Capacity-aware schedules
Model machines, tooling, skills, shifts, breaks and maintenance. Prevent overlapping use of a limited resource and show when an order cannot fit the available capacity.
Production Planning & Scheduling · Sri Lanka
Build a production plan your team can work with.
Connect orders, materials, machines and shifts in one planning workflow. Compare feasible schedules, see bottlenecks earlier and respond to disruption with decisions the production team can explain.

A clear starting point
What does production scheduling software do?
Production scheduling software assigns work to available resources while respecting process order, capacity, materials and working calendars. A useful plan makes constraints visible and gives planners a controlled way to revise work when conditions change.
For make-to-order factories, batch processors, assembly teams and companies coordinating several production stages. Scope follows your routings, resources and dispatch commitments.
What we can build
Practical tools.
Connected decisions.
Choose the capabilities that address your operating problem. Integrations, data readiness and acceptance criteria shape the final scope.
Materials and dependencies
Connect stock availability, expected receipts and quality release to production steps. Respect routing order, setup requirements and process-specific waiting periods.
What-if planning
Compare priority changes, alternative resources and approved overtime scenarios. Make trade-offs visible before the planner publishes a revised schedule.
Execution and feedback
Capture actual starts, completions and reasons for delay. Preserve plan versions and feed real progress back into the next planning decision.
In everyday operation
A machine stops. The whole plan should not disappear.
Illustrative workflow: a machine becomes unavailable while several orders are in progress.
Explore the application layer- 01
Record the new constraint
Mark the resource unavailable and estimate its recovery window. Preserve completed work and work already in progress.
- 02
Compare feasible options
Check alternate resources, tooling, material readiness and staff skills. Show affected orders and the assumptions behind each option.
- 03
Approve the revision
A planner reviews due-date impact and any proposed extra capacity. Freeze near-term work where constant changes would disrupt operators.
- 04
Publish one current plan
Release the approved version to supervisors and capture acknowledgements or exceptions. Keep previous versions for review.
Prepare the foundations
Good decisions need
usable information.
We review your current process and information before proposing an implementation. Start with representative examples and the people who understand them.
Orders and routings
Quantities, priorities, due dates, operation sequences, setup and run-time estimates, and permitted alternatives.
Resource calendars
Machines, tooling, skills, shifts, breaks, planned maintenance and rules governing simultaneous use.
Material and actual status
Released stock, expected supply, quality holds, completed quantities and the progress already committed on the floor.
From discovery to daily use
A focused pilot.
A deliberate path forward.
- 01
Map the constraints
Agree which rules are mandatory and which priorities may be traded off.
- 02
Replay real orders
Test historical and representative orders against capacity, calendars and material status.
- 03
Plan in parallel
Let planners compare proposed schedules with the existing method and record overrides.
- 04
Release with control
Introduce versioning, approvals, shop-floor updates and a practical fallback process.
Make improvement measurable
Agree the baseline.
Review the evidence.
These are candidate pilot measures, selected with your team. Targets and expected outcomes are agreed after reviewing the current process.
- Schedule adherence
- Compare planned and actual completion using an agreed tolerance.
- Delivery risk
- Track orders predicted to miss their dates and the reasons behind them.
- Plan stability
- Review changes to released work alongside waiting time and bottleneck load.

Practical answers
Questions before
you begin.
Is production planning the same as scheduling?
Planning sets demand, capacity and material expectations over a horizon. Scheduling assigns specific work to resources and time slots. The two should share current order and resource information.
Does scheduling always need generative AI?
No. Business rules and constraint optimisation can produce schedules. AI can assist with explanations or estimating patterns where suitable data exists, while the scheduling engine checks resource and process constraints.
Can the system handle breakdowns and urgent orders?
It can be designed to compare revisions after a change in availability or priority. Completed work, active jobs, material status and a planning freeze window should be respected before a planner approves the new version.
Will the software guarantee every delivery date?
No schedule can remove unavailable materials or insufficient capacity. The system should expose infeasible commitments and trade-offs so the team can make informed changes.
Can we keep our current ERP?
Often yes. A planning layer can exchange orders, stock and completion updates with an existing ERP through agreed interfaces. Discovery confirms integration options and ownership of each record.
