Capacity Planning and Machine Uptime: Balancing Work Orders with Line Throughput

Overcoming Shop-Floor Scheduling Chaos

Promising unrealistic delivery dates to sales clients leads to rushed setups, unplanned overtime, and sudden machine breakdowns. Finite capacity planning bridges the gap between sales demand and shop floor reality.

OEE measures Availability × Performance × Quality. Scheduling systems must factor in planned machine changeovers, tool sharpening intervals, and preventive maintenance downtime.

With Relaso Manufacturing ERP, production planners visualize machine load Gantt charts, automatically rescheduling work orders around scheduled line maintenance to maximize factory throughput.
