Abstract

In this paper is presented roughly a tracking and planning production program. The major challenge for manufacturing companies is to have the highest efficiency regarding the productivity. For this reason, the best way to achieve this is to track all elements from production process and to plan all phases as well as possible. The method used for planning production, is the Critical Path Method (CPM) because this kind of planning method determinates in advance the time of fabrications of complex parts. Using this tracking and planning production program, the companies can check the machine tools workload, can analyse the capacity, can assign the proper equipment for part’s fabrication, can estimate the delivering products time and also the cost of it. One of the advantages is that this information is provided on real time.
