Flexible Advanced Scheduling Technology
FAST is a configurable production planning and scheduling framework that helps manufacturers build feasible schedules around their production rules, resources, materials, capacity, workforce and operational constraints.
The challenge
A schedule only works when it satisfies many conditions at the same time — and those conditions move every day.
13 conditions · one schedule
Framework Code Product
FAST is not generic SaaS, and not a fixed module package that forces your process to follow the product. It keeps a reusable product core, while rules, parameters, data boundaries, integrations and operational behaviour are adapted to each organisation.
Configured per organisation

FASTHow FAST works
Your systems stay the source of truth. FAST plans on top of them and feeds the result back into the next decision.
09 → 04 · the loop that keeps the plan executable
Scheduling Board
Resources on one axis, time on the other. Place operations automatically or by hand — every move is checked against the rules you have switched on.

4 orders unscheduled
Four orders waiting. Press “Schedule” or keep scrolling.

Constraint-aware scheduling
Each constraint can be switched on or off globally, per plant or work center, or inside a single scenario — so the rules match how your operation really runs.
Material readiness
The scheduler must respect it. No placement may break it.
Held in the queue — inputs not ready.
Switch it on or off
Constraint catalogue · 13 rules
Beyond simple slots, FAST reasons about how work actually moves through your plant.
Production readiness
Before an operation takes a slot, FAST checks whether the material, the capacity and the people are actually there.
Readiness is evaluated from the inputs you already manage.
Capacity comes from your resources, calendars and shifts.
Operators and their skills are part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Scenario simulation & rescheduling
Simulations and drafts run beside the active schedule. Nothing reaches production until it is explicitly published.

Plan vs actual · Exception Center
Progress is synced back and compared with the plan at operation level. When something drifts, it lands in one place — with its severity and a suggested next step.

Projected finish passes the committed date.
Capacity conflict
Operation overlaps planned maintenance.
Skill mismatch
Not enough qualified operators.

Integration & enterprise operations
FAST does not replace your ERP or transactional systems. Source systems remain the source of truth; FAST consumes planning data through an agreed integration and staging boundary.
