Girus Schedule brings real time scheduling to Girus Productivity Toolkit

Scheduling is a fine balance between meeting target delivery dates and managing workflow, and can be highly complex when done manually. Girus Schedule enables print managers to effectively manage and control the print operation so that lead times are reduced, delivery dates met and output is maximised.

Girus Schedule employs dynamic scheduling techniques to quickly assign jobs to machines in the most efficient order to meet deadlines. New and currently scheduled jobs can be easily viewed and re-scheduling can be achieved with simple drag-and-drop operations. Bottlenecks and spare capacity can be seen on screen, and managers can quickly identify the consequences of proposed schedule changes.

By estimating the time required for each job on each machine and highlighting jobs that will not meet the required delivery date, Girus Schedule provides an unrivalled means of maximising efficiency while still meeting required dates.

Once the manager is happy with a schedule it can be committed as a work plan after which work instructions can be downloaded to machines and operators via the Girus T20 operator interfaces.

 
     
 
Following preliminary scheduling, real time feedback of job progress from the shop floor keeps Girus Schedule completely up to date, instantly highlighting slippage and alerting the print manager of potential problems.

Girus Schedule can be used as a stand-alone tool or integrated with third party MIS systems.
