Production Planning & Scheduling in Sparrow ERP
Sparrow ERP planning software enables you to accurately define your work shifts, including the leaves and holidays of the worker. This provides you with the overall visibility of your available input time according to the defined shifts.
Once the input time is visible, the same will be used to plan the production orders. Work orders can be planned either backward or forward based on the date of completion intended.
