Industrial implementation
Manufacturing scheduling

It seems to us that there are three main types of scheduling software on offer:

• basic" scheduling tools included in CAPM (Computer-Aided Production Management) or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) tools;

• specialized scheduling software ;

• generic "solvers" for scheduling problems.

For more detailed information on the first two classes of software, we refer you to the CETIM's "CAPM" files ( http://www.cetim.fr ), which are regularly updated, and to the various types of data sheets and comparisons available from CXP (http://www.cxp.fr).
