With the release of Sage X3 Version 11, a new Production Scheduler was introduced in the product, replacing the previous feature called Manufacturing Scheduler or Gantt module. In this article, we’ll take a look at this new planning and scheduling component of Sage X3.

What Is Production Scheduler?

The new Sage X3 Production Scheduler enables manufacturers to better control lead times, accelerate production cycles, and increase adaptability of their production schedule. Natively designed for multi‐user planning and scheduling, it allows you to centralize planning and share information more effectively with internal and external customers and suppliers.

Production Scheduler delivers real‐time visibility into your manufacturing process to support quick decisions on lead‐times, resource bottlenecks, and other production issues such as capacity sizing, work order time‐shifting, etc. What’s more, the interactive planning capabili‐ ties and constraint‐based finite capacity scheduling algorithms that are built into Production Scheduler are integrated in real‐time with the Sage X3 manufacturing process.
