On-time delivery, cost reduction and resource optimization are criteria that modern production companies must face in order to participate in today's delivery chains.

cronetwork scheduling board serves as the core tool of transparent and optimized production control system that allows you holistic control of your processes and resources.

Whether you do series production, production line orders or individual custom jobs, through its rich parameterization, cronetwork scheduling board adapts to a broad range of production forms.

Overview of functionality

• Types of scheduling: forward, reverse and median
• Setup time optimization with the help of setup matrices
• Parallel simulations including comparisons (e.g., according to deadline or costs)
• Fully adaptable scheduling horizon
• Personnel scheduling by qualification and efficiency factor through the interaction with cronetwork time & attendance
• Check availability of jigs and fixtures, tools, materials, drawings, etc.
• Transfer of delivery dates to third-party systems (purchasing, suppliers, customers, etc.)
• Workplace allocation via technologies
• Plant maintenance planning

Your benefits

• You increase transparency in your production.
  You know at any time and for certain what is happening in production. Deviations are immediately depicted graphically and can be corrected early. Production processes can be tracked transparently.

• You reduce throughput times.
  cronetwork enables shorter delivery times and maximum adherence to deadlines via optimal planning. This significantly increases your competitiveness.
  

• You heighten your productivity.
  Through improved machine utilization (e.g., retooling optimization) and less idle time, your costs decline.
  
  

• You minimize your stock.
  Transparent scheduling reduces your stock of semifinished products and thus the bound capital and costs.

• You vest in efficient scheduling.
  Due to the speed of scheduling, you can simulate alternatives with exact consideration of momentary influences and so select the optimum.

• You generate additional integrative benefits.
  Your ERP contains correct deadlines for expensive purchased parts. cronetwork scheduling board works with your employee pool according to cronetwork personnel scheduling. 

• You plan bottleneck resources in parallel.
  The availability of machines, tools and personnel are tested simultaneously.

• High acceptance by your employees
  cronetwork provides simple, intuitive operation and clear representation of orders and production sequences along with highest functionality. Your company's planning philosophy can be optimally integrated. Its free configurability adapts cronetwork to individual requirements.

Integration

• cronetwork plant data
• cronetwork machine data
• cronetwork time & attendance

Integration in the cronetwork modules time & attendance, plant data and machine data and the transparent representation of events at the execution level (e.g., reduction of production capacity due to machine breakdown or personnel availability via vacation planning) make cronetwork scheduling board the ideal tool for planning and controlling.

Processes in cronetwork plant data and cronetwork machine data immediately become visible and noticeable due to changes in the graphical representation in the scheduling board.

Thus cronetwork scheduling board is the central tool in a transparent and optimized production control system and allows you to react quickly and efficiently to changes.
