Scheduling
Sequence the smart way, balancing resources and other constraints while integrating seamlessly with planning
“In what sequence should I produce my orders or batches?”
“Can I fulfil this customer order by the expected due date?”
“How can I ensure my schedule and plan are aligned at all times?”
What to expect
Grow more scheduling genius. With a sharp mind and focused eyes. In perfect alignment with reality, planning and execution.
Add some Einstein to your schedule
Spark your intelligence and creativity
Advanced solvers optimize multiple KPIs and constraints all at once. Schedule optimum granularity efficiently. Complement finite with infinite scheduling to tackle disruptions instantaneously.
Seamless end-to-end integration between planning and scheduling
Working in one planning environment and one data model makes life easier. Adapt your scheduling model flexibly to your organizational structure and business reality. Keeping scheduling, planning and execution perfectly aligned at all times.
Schedule better with intuitive visualization, dashboards and copilots
Tweak your scheduling views and Gantt charts any way you like. Configure reports, scorecards and KPI dashboards at your discretion. Rely on an intuitive copilot to guide your focus, enhance your insight and spark your creativity.
Manufacturing environments with multi-level pegging, coupled routings, linked production steps, strong dependencies, limited capacity (machines, assets, tanks, WIP) and long production chains
Volatile and dynamic environments with variable production characteristics, product quality and yield, variable BOMs and alternative routings and shifting bottlenecks
Capital-intensive industries with multi-purpose installations designed to run at full capacity
Organic intermediates with long synthesis chains, variable yields and qualities
Divergent filling, packaging and transportation scheduling
Products with short expiry dates
Environments facing complex change over, QA/QC and cleaning time matrices
Industries characterized by complex campaign-based production
“OMP has proven the flexibility to support scheduling needs ranging from batch to continuous processes.”
Jim Carey, Supply Chain Manager at Eastman
“I really recommend OMP for production scheduling. Not just for the dairy industry, because there are some very good examples in other industries, both in process and packaging. That's not just my personal opinion. At the corporate level, we looked into different solutions, also from other players. We found out that OMP's scheduling solution is really solid and much more advanced than some others.”
“Our users are full of praise for the clear graphic display in the Gantt chart, the availability of various color schemes to indicate e.g. order lateness, flute types, etc., the customizable reports and graphs like a detailed list of orders, WIP graphs, etc. and the interactive scheduling capabilities. It was very easy to customize all these features to our specific needs, which has made OMP' solution an extremely powerful and user-friendly tool to support our users in scheduling our plants in the best possible way.”
Terje Surdal, Supply Chain Manager at Peterson Packaging

Flexible scheduling features and advanced solvers
Balance and optimize multiple KPIs and constraints
Use automatic scheduling and smart solvers running on a highly-effective scheduling engine to solve competing goals such as low cost, on-time delivery, and minimum waste, while handling conflicting constraints such as component availability, machine capacity and plant maintenance.
Optimal granularity
Schedule efficiently at the optimum level of detail
Choose your level of schedule aggregation depending on your needs. Refine by individual resources as you wish. And come up with a clever schedule in the most efficient way.
React in the know and in the now
Respond instantaneously to disruptions
Complement finite with infinite scheduling features to generate sharp alternatives fast. While keeping your schedule stable all the time.
Schedule and plan as one
Seamless end-to-end integration between planning and scheduling
Full scheduling flexibility
Fit your scheduling model to your organizational structure
Enjoy both centralized and decentralized scheduling. Let different planners schedule simultaneously in different time horizons. Sequence campaigns without disrupting short-term job sequencing. Schedule long production routings while others fine-tune the short run details in parallel.
Keep scheduling and planning aligned
Aim for perfect planning consistency
Make sure any changes to the schedule (e.g. due to production disruptions, component shortage, stock-outs, quality issues, changes in priorities) are immediately reflected in the plan, and vice versa, including maintenance and QA/QC plans.
Smart responsiveness
Have your schedule respond smartly to changes in execution
Automatic shop floor integration allows automated and intelligent schedule adaptation without latency issues. Keep your schedule reality-based and executable at all times by integrating the appropriate level of detail.
Gain focus
Schedule better with intuitive visualization, dashboards and co-pilots
Intuitive and ergonomic visualization
Tweak your screen the way you want it
Tailor your scheduling views and Gantt charts in line with your responsibilities and needs. Boosting your insights to make wiser choices even faster.
Flexible KPI dashboards
Easy configuration
Configure reports, score cards and KPI dashboards at your discretion. Fit them flexibly into your scheduling view for the perfect at a glance overview.
Follow your copilot
Smart guidance
Color-coded conflicts, alerts, exception-based diagnostics and prioritized to-do lists guide your focus, enhance your insight and spark your creativity.
