Clear Gantt chart style graphics are easy to understand and familiar to planners, allowing them to visualise the resources available and the jobs to be completed. In addition, a choice of bar code readers, touch screens or terminals simplify data collection around the factory. TRICORN:Scheduler includes a drag and drop interface which eases the rescheduling of tasks to suit changing circumstances. The results of changes are automatically calculated and graphically displayed, showing the impact on delivery dates across the whole schedule. Traffic light colour coding quickly highlights jobs which are on target for delivery, those which are nearing their due date, and those which are overdue.

TRICORN:Scheduler is an integral part of Tricorn’s Job Processing Software (TRICORN:Production), sharing the same database. This ensures that any changes made in the Job Processing Software are automatically and instantly reflected in the Scheduler. Similarly, any change to the schedule, such as a completed operation, absence or subcontracting is immediately reported back to TRICORN:Production.

Clear and easy to use one-screen technology ensures rapid training and fast software implementation. Users can be productive very quickly, modelling their processes in TRICORN:Scheduler and profiting from instant status reports, which will enable them to optimise their efficiency levels.
