SchedDSI: Production scheduling

Model your workflow, plan around equipment and personnel availability, and review the schedule in one place. SchedDSI combines visual planning with configurable rules for the way your operation runs.

Plan around the work, resources, and rules.

A useful production schedule starts with the process behind it. SchedDSI lets you describe the activities that make up the work, the order they follow, and the resources they depend on.

Build the workflow on a visual canvas, then configure the details that determine how it is scheduled. The same model brings together the sequence of work and the availability of the people and equipment needed to carry it out.

Visual workflow modeling: Drag activities onto a canvas and connect their dependencies. Review the sequence so the relationships between tasks are part of the model.
Activity details: Use activity parameters and variables to describe the work. Customer-specific logic can calculate durations where a fixed time does not reflect the process.
Timing between batches: Represent dependencies between batches, including work that must finish before another batch can begin. Timing rules can include delays between dependent batches.

Build the plan around available resources.

The order of work is only part of the scheduling problem. Equipment, people, working hours, and planned downtime also determine when an activity can happen.

SchedDSI uses finite scheduling to account for those limits. Configure resource availability alongside the workflow so the plan reflects the time available to carry out the work.

Equipment: Model the equipment used by your activities and include planned outages in its availability. Review scheduled work against the resources it needs.
Personnel: Maintain personnel and personnel types, account for periods of unavailability, and review assignments through the personnel schedule.
Working calendars: Configure shifts and working calendars alongside resource outages. Review their effect on activity timing and the sequence of scheduled work.

See where the plan needs attention.

Equipment and personnel views show when activities are planned and where resources are assigned. Search the equipment schedule, filter the view, and inspect an activity for more detail. These views give planners and operations teams a common starting point for discussing the work ahead.

Capacity and resource demand: Explore equipment capacity to understand how planned work uses available resources. Look more closely at the points where demand is concentrated and bring those questions into the planning discussion.
Changeovers and sequencing: Review equipment changeovers alongside the planned activities. Understanding the transitions between jobs helps your team discuss sequencing and the rules that should influence the schedule.

Adapt the model to your operation.

Configuration · Embedded Python · Integration & support

DSI helps translate your process into workflows, resources, and scheduling rules. A representative workflow and a description of the constraints are useful starting points for deciding how the model should work.

Embedded Python supports customer-specific logic at workspace, workflow, and activity levels. We can work through which requirements belong in configuration, which need custom development, and how the schedule should connect to your existing systems. Implementation and ongoing support are scoped around those requirements.
