Manufacturing Scheduling

Manufacturing scheduling
Manufacturing scheduling is the management and allocation of resources,
events and processes to create goods and services. A business adjusts its
production schedule based on the availability of resources, client orders and
efficiencies. The goal of manufacturing scheduling is to balance client needs
with available resources while operating in the most cost-efficient manner.
