Tellency manufacturing

Schedule the work against the capacity you have.

A material plan says what you need to make. Production scheduling determines how that work fits through the available work centres. Tellency connects capacity planning, operation scheduling and dispatch to production orders.

See load against available hours.

Inspect production demand by work centre and planning bucket. Capacity views connect the load to the orders and operations that create it, giving planners a route from a warning to the underlying work.

  • Use work-centre calendars, shifts, exceptions, efficiency and utilisation settings.
  • Review released and in-progress work, with optional planned or firm MRP load.
  • Drill from an overloaded bucket to the contributing orders.

Fit operations into the working calendar.

Finite scheduling places production operations using available work-centre windows and their setup and run requirements. Operation order and parallel steps influence the production sequence.

  • Schedule with operation dependencies, calendars and non-working exceptions.
  • Account for configured setup times and product/family changeover rules.
  • Inspect schedule warnings, unscheduled operations and late-order results.

Keep planner decisions visible.

The schedule board supports manual adjustments and locks alongside generated schedules. Changes should be reviewed with material readiness and the order’s promised date.

  • Move an operation and review the effect on its related operations.
  • Lock a scheduling decision where the plan needs to preserve a manual choice.
  • Reschedule unstarted work while retaining actual execution records for work already in progress.

Turn the plan into the work-centre queue.

The dispatch view connects the planned sequence to the operator’s next job. A schedule is most useful when the shop floor can see both what comes next and what prevents it from starting.

  • Review scheduled start and end times in the work-centre sequence.
  • Inspect material readiness and quality holds before dispatching work.
  • Use production progress to investigate the next planning decision.

Test a constrained week in the demo.

Bring competing orders and a calendar exception. A realistic evaluation should show how the system explains the scheduling result, not simply a colourful chart.

  • Include a holiday or unavailable shift and a setup-heavy product change.
  • Inspect an overload, a late order and a manually locked operation.
  • Review the resulting dispatch list with an operator and planner together.

Before the demo

Questions worth asking.

Is capacity planning the same as finite scheduling?

No. Capacity planning compares required work with available capacity. Finite scheduling places operations into available working time. Tellency includes both workflows; review them together using the same orders.

Can we connect machines or scales?

The shop-floor implementation includes browser-supported serial-scale weighing and manual fallback. Broader machine telemetry, PLC connections and automatic machine-data capture require a separate integration assessment; they are not implied by a schedule board.
