SchedulePro

Intelligen Inc. developed highly customizable schedule tool for batch and semi-continuous processes. EMA Engineering partners and distributes Schedule Pro in Turkey. SchedulePro is a finite capacity scheduling (FCS) tool for batch and semi-continuous manufacturing processes. 

Some typical applications for SchedulePro include:
 
  • Production Planning and Scheduling
  • Capacity Analysis
  • Plant Debottlenecking
  • Cycle Time Reduction
  • Modeling and Design of Multi-Product Facilities

SchedulePro uses an intuitive recipe-oriented representation of a manufacturing process. It handles resources such as equipment, work areas, labor, materials, utilities and inventory capacity. It allows for interruptions in the availability of resources to account for shift schedules, holidays, and planned maintenance. SchedulePro is compatible with SuperPro Designer and can readily import its recipes.

To download SchedulePro’s full manual (in pdf format), please click here. The posted zip file has a size of 8.5 MB. If you go through Chapter 4 (the tutorial), you will have a pretty good idea of the capabilities of the tool. To download the ReadMe files (in PDF format) for eight domain specific examples, please click here. Information on the contents of the examples follows:

  • Bio-Processing: It focuses on modeling and scheduling of biopharmaceutical facilities.
  • Ice-Cream: It explains how to optimize the scheduling of a facility that manufactures a wide variety of ice cream products.
  • Pharma-Tablets: It deals with modeling and scheduling of a facility that manufacturers pharmaceutical tablets.
  • Capacity-Analysis: It explains how to handle capacity analysis and long term planning.
  • CMO-Planning: It explains how to handle production planning (i.e., high-level scheduling).
  • Fill-Finish: It deals with scheduling and planning of a fill-finish facility.
  • Polymer-Resins: It deals with scheduling of a polymer resin multi-product manufacturing facility.
  • Yogurt: It deals with production of yogurt utilizing SKUs and SKU-Order-Templates.
