JobPack V9.5 provides tight integration between production control and engineering functions. The Windows-based program is said to increase machine and operator productivity by 19 percent by determining the most efficient production schedule and automating a multitude of manufacturing planning tasks. The system employs an integrated architecture based on MS SQL Server database to ensure functionality and product stability. The company’s single point of information and reuse of data philosophy includes the ability to add images to the production schedule and process documentation. An explorer-like graphical interface offers an overview of product manufacturing structure and real-time process information as it occurs. The scheduler is a database application that helps plan and control the flow of jobs through a shop or manufacturing plant to improve on-time delivery. The system reschedules over and under capacity on any work center and on-time percentages for every job that is activated.
