The Evolution of Demand-Driven, Finite Capacity Scheduling
SyncManufacturing® Version 8 builds on over 25 years of industry-leading demand-driven, constraint-based scheduling tools by giving planners greater workflow control and deeper visibility into factory operations. Native Business Intelligence (BI) Dashboards bring continuous-improvement analytics directly into scheduling workflow—no external tools required. A modernized interface, redesigned screens, and expanded precedence management make it easier than ever to model complex production environments.
Native BI Dashboards for Actionable Insights
Built-in BI Dashboards give planners and operations managers instant visibility into Cycle Time Variance, Order Release Adherence, CONLOAD™ Adherence, and On Time to Due Date so they can understand performance to the schedule and alignment between the model and their operations.
Stronger Precedence and Flow Control
New Ad Hoc, Operation, and Order Precedence capabilities allow users to define and maintain schedule-impacting dependencies across orders and operations, often representing process dependencies not understood in the bill of material structure, enabling a more detailed and accurate schedule where critical-path operations are synchronized and aligned to real-world dependencies
Modernized Planning Experience
Redesigned Calendar Maintenance, Production Plan, and Network Order Lines screens provide a more intuitive interface for modeling capacities and viewing complex order structures, inputs, and networks in a single, responsive view.
Manage the Network, Not Independent Work Orders
Supply Allocation automatically links supply and demand across every level of the bill of materials so multi-level production orders stay in perfect alignment, eliminating manual re‑dating and giving planners instant visibility into late paths, constraints, and true order status.
Built-In BI Dashboards: Turn Data into Action
SyncManufacturing V8 introduces built-in BI dashboards that support continuous improvement, better model accuracy, and increased focus on the metrics that matter.
- Cycle Time Variance – Compare planned and actual cycle times to validate routings and cycle time parameters, keeping models aligned with real-world factory operations.
- Order Release Adherence – See how closely execution follows scheduled release dates and quickly spot where work is being released too early or too late, creating congestion or starving key resources.
- CONLOAD™ Adherence – Monitor released load hours against max load hours at constraint resources to maintain stable flow and avoid chronic over-releases that drive expediting and firefighting.
- On Time to Due Date – Track orders as on-time, early, or late for both projected and historical performance so teams can focus improvement efforts where delivery risk is highest.
- Schedule Adherence – Track how well actual production follows the planned schedule to identify chronic variability issues that undermine flow and delivery performance.
Get Deep-Build Transparency into Complex Structures
Enhanced Supply Allocation capabilities automatically build supply–demand connections between production orders at every level of the bill of materials, recoupling what traditional ERP and APS systems treat as disconnected jobs into a single, synchronized build structure for each end product order. By eliminating manual re-dating of production orders and giving planners a view across the entire multi-level build, Supply Allocation speeds evaluation of order status, root-cause analysis of delays, and helps improve on-time delivery with less effort.
High Performance, Reliable, and Future Ready
SyncManufacturing V8 delivers faster page loads, smoother workflows, and a more modern, scalable tech stack that streamlines day-to-day planning and execution. Behind the scenes, UI, design, and platform improvements strengthen long-term maintainability and create headroom for future innovation. Performance enhancements accelerate calculations and detailed sequencing, speed work order loading, and improve email alert processing.
