In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the Sage X3 Web Scheduler – a web-based solution for planning and production. With a focus on automatic scheduling, Web Scheduler also allows manual editing to fine-tune and take total control over your production plan. Let’s dive in.
A Complete Web Scheduling Solution
A very intuitive and easy to use web interface guides you through analysis and manual adjustment of your plan. Real-time constraints verification (i.e. materials, labor, and tools) and native multi-department segregation ensure that your plan is feasible, delivery dates are met, and that you’re making optimal use of manufacturing resources effectively and efficiently.
While easy to use, Sage X3 Web Scheduler is also powerful so that you can drive efficiency and optimize the entire process including order sequencing, allocation and optimization, production plan analysis, production plan release, and production plan deployment. It all leads to reduced queue time and allows you to quickly identify and react to bottlenecks or disruptive events like machine downtime.

Powerful Visualization Tools
The Production Gantt view is a key aspect of Web Scheduling and allows you to easily focus and understand if the plan is optimized. Colored bars provide visual guidance to the operations sequenced in each line.
If required, you can make changes to the plan and production sequence for each line to be produced in the plant. Every time you move or modify something, the real-time engine runs and automatically checks the rules based on your plan.
In the Resource area, you can see details of all the production lines in the plant that are to be scheduled by the planner. Sage X3 Web Scheduler allows you to create partitions of your plan by department or production line so your plan can be managed by multiple planner users in different departments, or responsible for different areas.

Scheduling Formulas and Analytics
Another key feature of Sage X3 Web Scheduler is the ability to create multiple scenarios based on different heuristics and what-if analysis, with options to run default or custom scheduling algorithms. Flexible tools allow the definition of a scheduling horizon, frozen period, and additional parameters like material management, priority management, machine routings, orders, and launch dates. Then, you can easily compare, modify, and analyze simulations to find the “best fit” plan.
Plus, Sage X3 Web Scheduler delivers a series of standard overview dashboard reports that support analysis of your scheduling simulations. You can also create new reports using the powerful layout manager.
