Production Scheduling for Heavy Equipment & Industrial Manufacturers
Multi-location. Multi-month horizons. Mission-critical on-time delivery. Proven with Cummins, GE, and leading industrial manufacturers.
Heavy Industry Scheduling Challenges
Heavy equipment and industrial manufacturers operate at a scale and complexity where scheduling failures translate directly into massive cost overruns, missed contracts, and customer churn. Standard ERP scheduling modules were not built for this reality.
- Multi-location operations (30+ sites) with no unified scheduling
- Long scheduling horizons (6+ months) for labor and capacity planning
- Fleet management at scale (180,000+ units requiring scheduled maintenance)
- ERP systems that lack finite capacity scheduling capabilities
- Aged inventory accumulating due to poor schedule visibility
- On-time shipping rates stuck at 30% due to unrealistic scheduling
