        Article summary

        Steelhead's Capacity Planning features allow you to Schedule work ahead of time. This helps in providing accurate lead times and avoid bottlenecks.

        You can use the scheduling features to rearrange work on Workboards across your plant instantly. Scheduling allows you to communicate the highest priority work to everyone instantly


        Creating a New Schedule

        • From the home page, click on the "Scheduling" tile to go to the scheduling page
        • In the "Schedule" dialog box, type in a name for the new schedule
        • Filter work by Scheduling Tag, Station, or Deadline
        • In the search bar, search for Customers, Labels, Part Numbers, Processes, Process Nodes, or deadlines to further filter on the "Work To Be Prioritized" tile
        Condense Results to build schedules rapidly

        When you search for a label, a customer, a station, or anything else, click "Condense Results" to group all the results for your search together. Then, you can grab them all and move them to the Priority List with one motion. If you want to prioritize all work with a "Hot" label, or work for one customer, condensing results lets you do so with minimal effort!

        • Drag and drop work from the "Work To Be Prioritized" tile to the "Priority List" tile
        • Adjust the "Priority List" tile as needed
        • To set this schedule as the current schedule for the plant, click the "Set Current" button
