Scheduling reimagined
SimSource maintains a digital twin of your shop floor to capture production complexities, enable dynamic scheduling of work center queues, and forecast into the future
No complexity left behind
SimSource maintains a virtual replica of your shop that is informed by your ERP system.
Flexible modeling
Capture machine holding sequences, daisy chaining, complex precedence relationships, multi-resource requirements, and demand hierarchies.
ERP-integrated data ingestion
Connect directly to your ERP system and pull live operational data. SimSource acts as a decision-support layer on top of your system of record.
Scheduling that adapt as conditions change
Generate work center priority queues that reflect your business priorities and update jobs automatically as the shop floor changes — no manual rescheduling.
Priority-based optimization
Configure a scheduling policy that scores every job against your business priorities — due date, remaining hours, financials, and demand urgency.
Adaptive schedules
Generate schedules for your shop floor that adapt to unexpectedly long processing times, skilled labor missing shifts, and parts failing quality control checks.
Look ahead and test before you commit
Quantify what is likely to happen and explore alternatives. Forecast job completion times with confidence ranges, surface resource bottlenecks, and A/B test different scheduling policies.
Simulation engine
Execute hundreds of simulations to produce probabilistic forecasts — not a single optimistic schedule. See best-case, expected, and worst-case completion times.
Scenario and policy testing
Run A/B comparisons between scheduling policies. Test alternative priority strategies before committing. See which approach increases on-time delivery and throughput.
Complex production in the
face of uncertainty
MTO manufacturing runs on complex production processes in conditions that constantly shift — a reality that existing scheduling software was not built for.
Oversimplifying assumptions
Current scheduling software oversimplifies or ignores various aspects of the complex production process — multi-resource requirements, labor capabilities, and machine holding during quality control checks. Without the flexibility to capture these complexities, the schedule diverges from reality before it's even published.
Static schedules
Existing schedulers generate static schedules that ignore various sources of uncertainty — volatile processing times, machines that break, parts that fail quality control checks, and skilled labors missing shifts. Without any mechanism for handling these uncertainties, schedules break and manufacturers are left to make reactive decisions.
