Production schedule optimization
Builds tomorrow's run list from the real order book, the real routings, and how long work actually sits at each step, and tells you which jobs are drifting late before the customer does.
The problem
The ERP holds the orders and routings, but the schedule lives in a spreadsheet built from a data dump and rebuilt by one planner every week. Everyone sorts by due date, so a part with five steps and a vendor operation looks the same as a part with three, and the daily standup only looks at what is already late. Parts sit at a work center for days with nobody noticing, and sales promises dates from memory.
Why Structify, not an off-the-shelf tool
Advanced planning (APS) modules want clean routings and a year of implementation, and they replace the planner’s judgment instead of using it. Structify starts from the data you have, learns the real dwell your routings don’t show, and writes back to the ERP you already run only when the planner approves. When the ERP changes, the connector heals itself, which is where the homegrown Excel and Power BI versions break.

Order book and dwell
Reads open orders, routings, and confirmations every morning. Where routings are incomplete, learns actual step and queue times from history and shows them next to the standard.
