Introduction

RPS is a generic configurable scheduling solution from i2 Technologies that produces detailed schedules for multi-stage manufacturing processes. These optimized schedules enable you to maximize throughput, efficiency and response to customer demand. With Production Scheduler, you can create schedules that take into account the various business rules governing your factory. These business rules, or constraints, can include capacity limits, setup time and cost, due date requirements, work-in-progress (WIP) minimization, material availability, and so on. Production Scheduler generates and optimizes schedules that balance a large number of constraints.
