The Zemeter Finite Scheduler is the only commercial product that allows a business to define its own key performance indicators (KPI's) for a schedule. The scheduling algorithms understand the user defined KPI's and
operate to maximize them.

By translating the business objectives to KPI's, the finite scheduler is able to manipulate the schedule to align it to business objectives. For example, if the KPI's include changeover costs and utilization, the scheduler would operate to optimize these. Aligning the schedule to business goals helps to eliminate disconnects in the business process.

Detailed production schedules are a prerequisite for true capable to promise capabilities. The finite scheduler provides the visibility into the production facilities so that customer requests can be evaluated against capability to make realistic promises.

The Zemeter scheduler is designed to be part of an overall supply chain planning system. As such it supports multiple users, scheduling across multiple locations, and is fully integrated with demand planning and supply planning. For the business this reduces any integration issues.
