• Schedule jobs automatically based on customer, priorities and dependencies
• Perform load balancing across similar machinery.
• Track job status in real time, gaining immediate visibility to late jobs (red), jobs at risk of being late (yellow) and jobs that are on track (green).
• Lock the schedule while performing “what-if” scenarios to understand the impact on delivery times before making actual changes to the published schedule.
• Filter schedule by customer, sales rep, CSR, promise date, or resource for quick navigation to key information.

The published schedule and real-time job status is available electronically to everyone’s desktop or via large screens visible throughout the shop, replacing hard copy schedules and traditional manual whiteboards. For more information: www.avantisystems.com.
