Automatically download requirements from the plant's production planning or ERP system. The system can automatically assign each Job to a particular machine or place them in the "bullpen" for the Scheduler to assign them. The list of assigned jobs is displayed arranged by criteria you select:

• Required Date
• Work Order
• Tool or Material ID

Once Jobs are loaded, the system allows the scheduler to run "what if" scenarios to see immediately the impact of rush orders and schedule changes.
