QAD - Master Scheduling Workbench

The Master and Production Scheduling Workbenches provide a role-based, decision-supporting productivity tool set that improves your company's efficiency and effectiveness in the master and production scheduling areas.

The workbenches assimilate all contributing information that is critical for planning and scheduling  decision making and they provide capabilities for rapid manipulation of the plan/production schedule in discrete, repetitive, and mixed mode environments. As a result, your planner and scheduler can interact with the plan and schedule interactively during the day having all the required decision factors at their finger tips.
