Connected production planning with Prestige Scheduler

Prestige Scheduler is a proven finite planning solution that has been integrated with Optimus MIS for more than two decades. Together they create a connected production planning environment where scheduling decisions are based on live production intelligence.

Within Optimus dash, estimating metrics, production logic and job models are configured to reflect the way your business operates. This information is passed into Optimus Core, which acts as the central operational foundation for production planning, providing the consistent job, material and workflow data required for accurate scheduling.

Through Optimus Automate, modules such as Real-Time Data Capture (RDC) continuously feed live production progress back into the planning process. As jobs move through production, schedules automatically adjust to reflect actual shopfloor conditions, giving planners complete visibility of capacity, resource utilisation and workflow status.

Prestige Scheduler supports forward and backward scheduling, capacity planning, resource allocation and what-if simulations, allowing production teams to evaluate alternative production scenarios before committing work to the schedule.

The result is a dynamic production planning environment that improves scheduling accuracy, increases operational visibility, optimises resource utilisation and delivers greater confidence in production performance.

Key capabilities of Prestige Scheduler

Real-time scheduling & capacity planning

Plan dynamically using live production data —
ensuring accuracy, transparency and
reliable delivery commitments.

Priority-Based Scheduling

Pin high-priority jobs within the production schedule to improve visibility, optimise resource allocation and maintain control across changing production demands.

Visual production planning

View jobs, resources and timelines
in an interactive Gantt chart for
faster, more informed decisions.

Forward & backward scheduling

Optimise production timelines with
dependencies, grouping and intelligent
process linking across workflows.

What-if simulation

Test alternative scenarios and
capacity changes before committing
to live published production schedules.

Real-time data integration

Integrate data from RDC, workflow
and third-party systems — keeping
planning aligned with live production.

Improve planning performance through a structured process review

Identify inefficiencies in scheduling, data flow and production control. We assess your current processes and define how finite planning can be integrated to improve accuracy, capacity and performance.
