The Little Blue Book on Scheduling

The current trends in manufacturing are aimed at lowering inventory levels to reduce costs, while still being able to respond to shorter lead times and thereby satisfy customer demand. This forces companies to find ways to optimize production operations by reducing or eliminating non-value-added activities such as setup or waiting time. Highlighting potential problems allows action to be taken to balance demand and capacity.

Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) software is a proven tool in helping companies to meet the challenges of these trends. There are hundreds of case studies that have documented how APS adds value to other software applications such as ERP and MES.

But why have scheduling applications become popular?

What are the limitations of ERP systems that best of breed scheduling systems overcome?

Where does Lean Manufacturing fit into the picture?

These are just some of the questions explored in this white paper.

It is based in part on "The Little Blue Book on Scheduling" written by Mike LIDDELL, an expert in planning and scheduling theory and implementation. It includes selective extracts from the book (chapters 1, 2 & 3) as well as a variety of other information including a number of success stories from a wide range of manufacturing sectors.

"The Little Blue Book on Scheduling" has become the pocket bible for planning and scheduling. If you are interested in purchasing the book please visit Lean Scheduling International.
