01 / PRODUCTION PLANNING
Connect work orders with the schedule
The production planner brings work orders into daily, weekly, hourly and monthly views. See the scheduled line and shift beside the backlog. Orders retain their product, quantity, priority and customer context, helping planners review what should run next.
In a product walkthrough
Find a work order in the backlog, review its requirements and inspect where it fits into the line and shift structure.
02 / PRODUCTION PLANNING
Review the resources behind the plan
A schedule depends on more than the number of available hours. The planner links to capacity and employee views, while maintenance appears alongside production work. Material availability and reservations provide additional readiness context for the team to review.
In a product walkthrough
Check line capacity, maintenance and workforce coverage, then inspect material readiness for the work being planned.
03 / PRODUCTION PLANNING
Bring execution back into planning
The line board compares production with the shift plan. When progress changes, Shift Outlook and the constraint views provide context for reassignment or rescheduling. Governed intelligence proposals separate a possible change from the human decision to execute it.
In a product walkthrough
Compare the schedule with production progress. Review the effect of a proposed change on eligible lines, materials and due dates before approving it.
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before your product walkthrough.
Can we schedule work across lines and shifts?
The production planner supports work-order scheduling across the factory’s line and shift structure. Its views connect scheduled work, maintenance and the backlog.
Does MagicWand replace our ERP?
MagicWand focuses on manufacturing execution and factory operations. Assess the data mapping and enterprise integration approach against your ERP during a product walkthrough.
Are recovery schedule changes automatic?
Factory intelligence can prepare rescheduling proposals for review. Proposed changes and executed changes are distinct stages, with human approval in the governed workflow.
