Thanks to the Gantt display, the order situation is clearly organised and transparent. Possible bottlenecks are easily identifiable. Enquiries regarding delivery dates can be directly answered. Resource shortfalls can be responded to with a swift escheduling. The current production status can be blended in live within the planning. Modern production processes have to meet stringent demands in terms of speed, flexibility and safety. On a given system, speed can often be attained by optimising the processes. Flexibility can be achieved by an order planning system with which various what-if scenarios can be quickly and easily analysed. Such a system allows conclusions to be made regarding, for example, whether an order calling for quick turnaround can be scheduled in without any problems or whether this would only be at the expense of other orders. The completion date for all scheduled orders is clearly stated; delayed orders due to e.g.resource bottlenecks are marked by colour as late. If all planned orders can be scheduled within their latest delivery date, an optimum delivery reliability is achieved. If this is not possible due to the order situation, resource utilisation or other schedule constraints, the orders can be shifted on the planning board so in the end, only the orders for which the resulting disadvantages are the most minimal will be delayed. Kastor systems can be operated with or without detailed scheduling. Orders are typically accepted by an ERP system and with the rough planning date given therein, added to the Kastor order list.
