NEWS RELEASE: Cetec ERP introduces buffer scheduling feature to improve workflow
Austin, Texas, Dec. 5, 2023 – Cetec ERP, a leading cloud-based ERP software provider, has introduced a new scheduling feature that allows users to estimate static buffer time occurring before or after work is completed at a given work location. This will drive a scheduled entry for the work order without impacting labor time, estimates, or cost.
Robust, dynamic production scheduling is one of the core needs and pain points for many manufacturers. The Buffer feature is the newest tool from Cetec ERP that helps solve these problems and better manage the production schedule.
The new field, called “Buffer,” can be managed in two ways: Defaults can be set from a table in the Data Maintenance page named “OrdlineStatus”, or they can be set manually/overridden in a part’s labor plan or order specific labor plan. Previously, modeling a traveler/router’s schedule to include a “buffer” period occurring before or after work was completed at a work location took several steps. Users needed to create and utilize a separate “staging” work location, then place that staging work location in the labor plan itself, and finally set the time estimate on that staging location to be a static setup or outsource-based time entry for the scheduling system to register the buffer.
Cetec ERP continues to innovate its advanced software scheduling functionality to enhance the demands of complex manufacturing environments of medical device manufacturers. The Buffer Scheduling feature will make scheduling more efficient and user-friendly for process manufacturers, pharma companies, and medical device contract manufacturers.
