Project Scope

The approach taken was to implement a collaborative scheduling model, which coupled together the schedules of the individual resources, so that they would effectively act as one “single” resource. Specific benefits that were identified included the reduction of work in progress material, increased machine throughput, increased resource utilization and improved material assignment.
