Visual Advanced Production Scheduler
app for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Seamless integration with Business Central is crucial for seamless data and production process management. With all essential information accessible from single repository, the application significantly improves work and decision making efficiency.

The solution allows you to create automatic production schedules that can subsequently be adjusted manually. This functionality ensures control over the production processes, allowing the user to quickly respond to changes and maintain process continuity.

The functionality allows for manual customization of production schedules, effectively combining traditional and modern planning methods. Users can freely modify and adjust each schedule to the current requirements and conditions, which ensures greater control and flexibility in production management.

The functionality facilitates change management by showing how changes can impact the entire production schedule. It helps predict and minimize possible disruptions which is crucial for maintaining production efficiency.

Thanks to a unified database, the application offers an easy way to access production-related information. This empowers users to quickly analyze data and make informed decisions.

The functionality suggests alternative resources when main resources are unavailable. This ensures that production processes are undisturbed which translates into enhanced flexibility and sustained work continuity.

The application offers material availability overviews. The feature is crucial for production planning because it reduces the risk of delay resulting from component unavailability.

By preventing resource overloads while creating production schedules, the solution enables you to maintain the efficiency and sustainability of production.

Quick response minimizes the impact of failures or downtime on the production processes. Thanks to this capability, the company can reduce losses and return to its regular operating mode quickly.

The functionality allows the user to lock a part of the schedule to prevent unwanted incidental changes. It is particularly useful in long-term plans and projects.

Multiple views and colors facilitate understanding and presenting complex production data. Thanks to powerful visualization features, users can identify key information and trends quickly and communicate more effectively within the organization and with customers.

Automatic feedback ensures that the sales department is instantly informed of any changes in the production schedule. This streamlines communication with customers in case of possible delays or changes in deliveries.

Unassigned production orders can be viewed per virtual standby resource. The user can move the unassigned production orders to resources using the drag & drop feature or use the semi-automatic planning tool which highlights available alternative machines.

The function allows the user to add new operations to an existing schedule which is automatically adjusted to include these operations.

This functionality is used to automatically schedule production orders without affecting the overall production schedule.

By pinning operations in a chosen time slot, the user can prevent moving or modifying the operations.

The application offers different color schemes that help the user to focus on specific aspects of planning.

This feature allows the user to create, compare and publish different schedule scenarios which facilitates planning optimization.

In the scheduling process, the system analyzes material availability which ensures that the production plan is manageable and feasible.

Production planning can take into account different possibilities such as alternative resources and technological lines.

Reduce downtime and operational costs while optimizing resource utilization with SDST (Sequence Dependent Setup Times). Optimizing the sequence of operations on key machines to minimize setup times can increase throughput and reduce the number of delayed production orders. SDST supports this by grouping specific operations on designated machines to minimize overall setup time. The SDST feature in VAPS operates based on item attributes
