About Captain

Captain is a transparent, web-based Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) software that replaces spreadsheet applications often used in production planning. It eliminates human errors, gives real-time visibility throughout the operation chain, and integrates multiple resources to achieve minimum risk, reduce costs, and improve productivity.

The software helps take the time complexity and errors out of planning based on the sequencing rules that the user chooses, whether it is delivery date, minimum setup time, or key customer prioritization. Captain's centralized command center runs an engine that is fifty percent faster, allowing users to create, modify, and fine-tune their production cycles using unique scenarios and criteria. Users can monitor task updates in real-time and gain valuable insights to take charge of urgent requests while assessing their impact on the plan before allocating resources.

Captain empowers users to oversee and assign shifts, verify machine availability, and manage inventory. The system also offers an intuitive tablet interface for operators to input crucial production data, providing real-time visibility into the production process. Preconfigured dashboards and reports give an overview of key performance indicators, enabling users to uncover insights into inefficiencies affecting frontline processes and workflows, and enhance responsiveness when addressing unplanned downtime events.
