Production planning and scheduling, machine by machine
Sequence orders on each machine against finite capacity, setup times, due dates, and material availability, then release the approved schedule to your ERP or MES.
ERP Software / 04Operational coverage
The work your team can stop coordinating by hand.
Manufacturers lose margin when the schedule ignores real capacity, changeovers, or material on hand. SOBERAN builds the schedule from the same model as demand, inventory, and purchasing, so a late supplier or a stopped machine becomes a new sequence for the planner to approve instead of a surprise on the floor. SOBERAN production scheduling is in use at a manufacturing customer today.
Finite-capacity schedule by machine or work center
Machine sequencing that accounts for setups, changeovers, priorities, and due dates
Rescheduling when a machine stops, material slips, or a rush order arrives
Approved production orders released to the ERP or MES, with shortages handed to purchasing
Operational impact
Results teams can feel in the operation.
SOBERAN ships in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and is implemented for companies worldwide. Scoped module rollouts commonly target first value in about 30 days depending on integrations and data readiness.
- 01
Feasible schedules built on finite capacity and setup times
- 02
Faster rescheduling when machines stop, materials slip, or rush orders arrive
- 03
One timeline for sales demand, material purchasing, and the shop floor
Why now
Plan production against real material and capacity constraints.
As volume grows, manual handoffs stop scaling.
Before you decide
Frequently asked questions
01Does SOBERAN do finite-capacity scheduling?
Yes. Orders are scheduled against the available capacity of each machine or work center, not infinite capacity, and the planner reviews the resulting sequence and load before approving it.
02How does machine sequencing handle setups and changeovers?
Sequencing accounts for setup and changeover times together with priorities and due dates, so the schedule groups similar work to cut changeovers without missing committed dates.
03What happens when a machine stops or material arrives late?
SOBERAN recalculates the sequence when a machine goes down, material is delayed, or an urgent order enters, and proposes the new schedule for approval.
04Does it replace our ERP or MES?
No. SOBERAN releases approved production orders to your ERP or MES. Machine-level execution and data capture stay in the MES where you have one.
05Can we model multi-level BOMs?
Yes. Assemblies with subcomponents are part of typical mid-market manufacturing scope, and shortages can trigger purchasing on the same timeline as production.
06What industries fit best?
Discrete manufacturing, assembly, packaging, and process plants that schedule shared machines or lines, plus brands that repackage or configure products regionally.
07How does Production connect to Procurement and Inventory?
Planned consumption and shortages can drive purchasing workflows while inventory on hand and inbound POs inform whether builds are feasible - keeping manufacturing, buyers, and planners on one timeline.
08Is Production planning and scheduling, machine by machine only software or also a managed service?
SOBERAN combines software, agent services, and human oversight. In Production planning and scheduling, machine by machine, the software layer keeps data, policies, and audit trails aligned; the SOBERAN Agent prepares and executes routine work; and your team approves exceptions, spend, policy changes, and sensitive decisions.
