Production planning and scheduling can be a time consuming, tedious task especially in high-mix low-volume industry. As work is completed, as new orders are introduced, and as other changes (e.g. machine breakdowns) occur, the schedule needs to be modified and / or regenerated.
Nowadays, most of the production planners make use of software such as spreadsheets (i.e. Excel) to essentially automate manual scheduling . While spreadsheets sped up scheduling, they did little to effective scheduling due to lack of flexibility to handle dynamic changes in production shop floor.
