Multi-Location Scheduling for Defense & Aerospace
Multi-location scheduling built for the reality of defense and aerospace: as9100 traceability tied to every production step, itar and export-controlled materials drive workflow restrictions, and long lead-time forgings and castings dominate planning horizons. Generic multi-location scheduling ignores these constraints. We built ours around them — for 35+ years.
Why Defense and aerospace manufacturers Need Multi-Location Scheduling That Understands Their Floor
Defense & aerospace is not generic ITAR. Every AS9100 decision is shaped by as9100 traceability tied to every production step, every order is shaped by itar and export-controlled materials drive workflow restrictions, and every weekly plan gets disrupted by long lead-time forgings and castings dominate planning horizons. Off-the-shelf multi-location scheduling tools were built for a textbook model of manufacturing that does not survive contact with a real defense and aerospace floor. Our multi-location scheduling starts from the constraints — unified scheduling across multiple plants and sites, modeled the way defense and aerospace manufacturers actually run them.
- AS9100 traceability tied to every production step
- ITAR and export-controlled materials drive workflow restrictions
- Long lead-time forgings and castings dominate planning horizons
- First Article Inspection (FAI) milestones gate production progress
How Our Multi-Location Scheduling Works for Defense & Aerospace
Multi-Location Scheduling is a finite-capacity-aware scheduling engine purpose-built for the messiness of real manufacturing. For defense and aerospace manufacturers — including tier 1 aerospace suppliers — it handles as9100 traceability tied to every production step, itar and export-controlled materials drive workflow restrictions, and long lead-time forgings and castings dominate planning horizons in a single Gantt-driven interface planners can actually use. Below is what that looks like in practice.
- Unified scheduling across multiple plants and sites
- Cross-plant work transfer logic with logistics lead time
- Plant-specific calendars, shifts, and capacity profiles
- Consolidated load and bottleneck visibility across all sites
