Abstract	The AutoSched/sup TM/ finite capacity planning and scheduling tool helps you increase throughput, reduce in-process inventory, and increase equipment and personnel utilization. AutoSched efficiently schedules all of the constraints in your factory, such as shift schedules, work setup rules, batching, preventative maintenance, machine efficiency, and operator skill classes. With AutoSched, you can identify your bottleneck resources and apply intelligent operating rules to improve performance. One manufacturer reduced its average cycle time from 25 to 5 days, and reduced in process inventory to one-fifth previous levels using AutoSched. Scheduling with AutoSched allows you to set accurate commit dates, based on the current mix of work, available resources, and existing commit dates. AutoSched uses the AutoMod/sup TM/ simulation system, AutoSirnulations' proprietary simulation technology. AutoMod provides the discrete event simulation engine, 3-D graphics, and material handling constructs that are the foundation for AutoSched. Built-in task selection rules in AutoSched allow you to model how machines and personnel select tasks to increase factory performance. You can also easily customize AutoSched with an engineering-oriented, English-like language that provides the flexibility to create custom task selection rules. In addition to scheduling, the AutoSched planning tool can be used for capacity analysis. Simulation technology makes it possible for you to quickly and easily consider what if questions such as, What new equipment do we need to buy for producing the new product? Simply add the new equipment to the model, rerun it, and review the results. Effects of capital acquisitions, process changes, and changing product mixes can be evaluated prior to implementation.
