First up, let’s dust off our dictionary and define the term.<\/p>\n
What is production scheduling?<\/h2>\nProduct production scheduling is the process of assigning different raw materials, resources or processes to different products. It\u2019s meant to make your production process as efficient and cost-effective as possible when it comes to materials and people \u2014 all while delivering products on time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Production scheduling is essential to the entire supply chain. In fact, it\u2019s responsible for some of the most important key performance indicators (KPIs) in the supply chain as a whole.<\/p>\n
Here are a few common production scheduling KPIs:<\/p>\n
\n- Daily performance<\/li>\n
- Cost reduction<\/li>\n
- Production service rate<\/li>\n
- Inventory turn<\/li>\n
- Production time<\/li>\n
- Cycle time<\/li>\n
- Order management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
With the above KPIs in mind, we’ll need to come up with a reasonable timeframe and map out how we’ll reach our goals.<\/p>\n
But first, we need to clarify an industry-related term you might have come across already; production planning. While the two are similar, there’s a key difference here.<\/p>\n
