High-volume repetitive precision parts — pumps, fasteners, seals, precision-machined components — live and die on capacity and adherence. Fast Planning does finite machine loading on standard cycle and setting times, sequences to the customer's planned schedule, and books plan vs actual, rejection, rework and OEE. Cloud or on-premise, for manufacturers across India and worldwide.
A machine's true capacity is its cycle time times the hours available — but planning is done on gut feel. Nobody can say whether Thursday's release actually fits on the CNC line until it is already late.
Auto customers work to weekly releases and firm dates. Without an order-wise planned schedule and priority, a slipping part is only discovered when the dispatch is short — and the line-stoppage penalty follows.
The plan lives in one spreadsheet, production output in another, rejection on a whiteboard. By month-end the planned schedule and what was really produced don't line up, and nobody can explain the gap.
Idle time, breakdowns, rejection and rework are logged in different books, so the real loss of machine efficiency is never added up — and the same work centre keeps bleeding hours unnoticed.
Fast Planning runs demand, netting, loading, scheduling and shop-floor booking on the same platform as stock and production — so capacity, adherence and efficiency are one connected flow, not five spreadsheets.
Fast Planning carries a precision part through its full planning life — so what the customer released gets scheduled, what was produced gets booked, and every lost hour of capacity stays visible.
High-volume precision parts are capacity-driven: capacity is the operation's cycle time multiplied by the hours a machine is available. Fast Planning holds standard cycle and setting times on the process sheet and loads each operation onto its work centre, then the Machine Loading Report shows daily load, loading in percentage and — netting pending work — projected machine availability. See machine loading & capacity.
Automotive customers work to firm weekly releases. Fast Planning defines schedules for the order and its finished parts, lays them out as an Order-wise Planned Schedule, and lets you set order and resource priority. A DayPilot Gantt board shows the whole plan visually so you can drag and re-sequence to protect a due date — and pending reports track adherence order by order. See scheduling & priority.
Production status is updated from the floor — shift, machine and operator wise — with OK and Not-OK quantities and actual start, end, cycle and setting times, captured by hand or by scanning shift, machine and operator barcodes. The Plan vs Actual report puts the planned schedule next to real output, so a slipping order or an over-running operation shows the same day. See plan vs actual & OEE.
Process status updation captures OK and Not-OK production at each operation, so rejection is booked against the operation, machine and operator — not a whiteboard. The Work-Centre Rework report shows rework by the work centre that produced it, and rejection analysis points straight at the source that needs a corrective action, ready for PPAP and 8D reviews. See plan vs actual & OEE.
Booked time, good and reject output, breakdown and idle time roll up into work-centre, machine and operator utilization, daily and monthly efficiency, and graphical OEE dashboards. Idle-time and additional-time summaries expose where availability is lost, and Dhruv AI adds plain-English summaries and clusters delay and breakdown remarks so the biggest losses surface first. See Dhruv AI and efficiency & OEE.
Capture demand from a forecast or confirmed orders, with schedules for the order and its finished parts as the input to every planning run.
Explode demand through the BOM, net against stock and open supply, and split the shortfall into purchase requisitions to buy and work orders to make.
Master and order process sheets with operations, standard cycle and setting times, sequencing and machine assignment per part.
Finite loading on cycle times, daily load, loading in percentage and projected availability so a release is promised only when it fits.
Order-wise planned schedule, order and resource priority and a DayPilot Gantt board to sequence work to customer release dates.
Production booking by shift, machine and operator, plan vs actual, work-centre rework and graphical OEE and efficiency dashboards.
Yes. Each operation carries a standard cycle and setting time, and Fast Planning loads that onto its machine. The Machine Loading Report shows daily load, loading in percentage and projected machine availability — finite, cycle-time-driven capacity, not a rough labour estimate.
Yes. Schedules are defined for the order and its finished parts, the Order-wise Planned Schedule lays out what is due when, order and resource priority sequence the work, and a DayPilot Gantt board lets you re-sequence to protect a release date.
Production is booked from the floor — shift, machine and operator wise — with OK and Not-OK quantities and actual cycle and setting times. The Plan vs Actual report puts the planned schedule next to real output the same day.
Yes. Process status updation captures OK and Not-OK production at each operation, and the Work-Centre Rework report shows rework by the work centre that produced it — pointing straight at the source for PPAP and 8D.
Yes. Booked time, output, breakdown and idle time feed work-centre, machine and operator utilization, daily and monthly efficiency and graphical OEE dashboards, with Dhruv AI clustering the biggest loss reasons first.
No. It suits manufacturers of every kind — make-to-order, machine shops, process and batch plants — cloud or on-premise, across India and worldwide. Precision components are simply a strong fit because capacity rides on cycle times and schedule adherence.
