Turn complex production plans into agile, optimized, on-time performance.
Schedule smarter. Produce faster. Deliver on time- every time.
SCY Production Scheduling helps manufacturers optimize production sequences, resource utilization, and changeovers with intelligent, real-time scheduling. Plan faster, adapt instantly, and ensure smooth operations across your entire shop floor.
Problem Statement
Manufacturers often face conflicting priorities — limited resources, frequent order changes, and unpredictable material availability.
Manual or spreadsheet-based scheduling leads to idle resources, costly changeovers, and missed delivery dates.
Impact: Over 60% of manufacturing delays stem from poor schedule synchronization and lack of real-time visibility.
Solution Overview
SCY Production Scheduling transforms the way you plan and execute manufacturing operations.
It optimizes production sequences and resource allocation using advanced solvers, integrating real-time data from ERP, MES, and shop-floor systems.
The result: reduced setup time, maximized throughput, and dependable delivery performance — all through a single, intuitive interface.
Unlike rigid scheduling systems, SCY’s no-code flexibility and advanced solvers (MILP, heuristics, and metaheuristics) allow planners to respond rapidly to changes, making scheduling not just faster, but smarter.

European Ice Cream Manufacturer – From Chaos to Churn Control
A leading European ice cream maker faced inefficiencies in campaign planning and machine sequencing across multiple plants. Long setup times, poor batch-size balancing, and manual rescheduling impacted production throughput and delivery reliability.
By deploying SCY Production Scheduling, the company used intelligent solvers to optimize flavor sequencing and freezer line utilization. Gantt-based visualization provided planners with immediate visibility into constraints and opportunities. Within three months, setup losses dropped by 20%, finished goods inventory by 15%, and OTIF rates improved significantly — achieving both seasonal flexibility and operational consistency.
