Target Market
Discrete, part, and batch manufacturers of all sizes seeking a highly customizable solution for scheduling and managing production processes.Production Scheduling Software
TACTIC Production Scheduling Software, also known as manufacturing scheduling software or finite capacity scheduling (FCS) software, enables manufacturing staff to generate detailed dispatch lists for production machines, labor units, and other resources. These lists account for the finite capacity constraints of the resources being scheduled.
TACTIC helps users determine:
- The next job to run
- Whether to work overtime on weekends
- Which job might be delayed
Typically, TACTIC focuses on the near-term time frame, handling released or soon-to-be-released shop orders. These orders can be supplied through an interface with MRP/ERP systems or entered manually. It is generally used within a single facility.
Advanced Planning and Scheduling Software
TACTIC Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) Software goes beyond production scheduling by considering a wider range of factors. APS software accounts for:
- Shop floor capacity constraints
- Inventory and bill of material constraints
- Inventory stocking and replenishment levels
- Order generation policies
TACTIC APS can operate over longer time frames than the sum of procurement and production lead times. It accepts both sales and forecast orders and, through a bill of material explosion, creates purchase and manufacturing orders. TACTIC APS can function in conjunction with or independently from MRP/ERP systems. It can generate plans for a single location or multiple locations across the supply chain, making it a key component of supply chain management software suites.

One time purchase and some great scheduling capabilities
We are in the implementation process of getting TACTIC set up for our production scheduling. We looked at a lot of systems and TACTIC stood out because of its pricing structure and ability to be customized to our needs.
We really liked how it was a stand alone program and as a one time purcahse. The support has been great and one of the main support resources is the owner of the company so he really has helped us feel comfortable with the system.
