Overview of Managing Flow Schedules for Manufacturing Execution on a Production Line

The Flow Schedules page lets you implement flow manufacturing using defined schedules for execution and streamline production execution in line with lean manufacturing principles.

Flow manufacturing applies to a subset of manufacturers that run uninterrupted production lines at a constant rate to make similar products, generally in bulk and with a repetitive process. Production is managed through flow schedules that created and scheduled based on the line rate and available working hours.

As a manufacturer, you can review planned quantities against daily line capacity to identify and overload situation that needs to be addressed. You can also reschedule flow schedules to manage production bottlenecks, and resequence schedules to fulfil priority orders.
