Multi-Location Scheduling for Electronics Manufacturing
Multi-location scheduling built for the reality of electronics manufacturing: multi-level sub-assembly boms with deep component nesting, component supply variability drives constant rescheduling, and smt vs through-hole vs hand-build different capacity models. Generic multi-location scheduling ignores these constraints. We built ours around them — for 35+ years.
Why Electronics manufacturers Need Multi-Location Scheduling That Understands Their Floor
Electronics manufacturing is not generic PCB. Every SMT decision is shaped by multi-level sub-assembly boms with deep component nesting, every order is shaped by component supply variability drives constant rescheduling, and every weekly plan gets disrupted by smt vs through-hole vs hand-build different capacity models. Off-the-shelf multi-location scheduling tools were built for a textbook model of manufacturing that does not survive contact with a real electronics manufacturing floor. Our multi-location scheduling starts from the constraints — unified scheduling across multiple plants and sites, modeled the way electronics manufacturers actually run them.
- Multi-level sub-assembly BOMs with deep component nesting
- Component supply variability drives constant rescheduling
- SMT vs through-hole vs hand-build different capacity models
- Lean cell scheduling alongside batch operations
How Our Multi-Location Scheduling Works for Electronics Manufacturing
Multi-Location Scheduling is a finite-capacity-aware scheduling engine purpose-built for the messiness of real manufacturing. For electronics manufacturers — including contract electronics manufacturers (ems) — it handles multi-level sub-assembly boms with deep component nesting, component supply variability drives constant rescheduling, and smt vs through-hole vs hand-build different capacity models 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
