Know what is late before it is late.
A finite-capacity plan across every work centre, rebuilt whenever something changes. It knows your shifts, your routings and what is actually left to make.
How it thinks
Three rules the plan never breaks.
-
Rule 1
Finite, not wishful
One job on a machine at a time. The plan loads each work centre to its real shift calendar, site by site, so a date it gives you is a date the floor can hit.
-
Rule 2
Strict routing order
Op 30 does not start until op 20 has finished, unless you allow transfer batches. Subcontract legs run on calendar days and come back on a due date.
-
Rule 3
Remaining is parts left × cycle time
The plan does not care how many hours were booked. It counts what is left to make and what each one takes. That is the only figure a schedule needs.
What the planner handles
The things that wreck a plan are already in it.
Planner IQ keeps a running list of what needs a decision. Dismiss a finding and it stays dismissed. Fix the cause and it closes itself.
Holds and machine down
A held job frees its machine. A machine reported down is cut from the plan until its due-back time.
Shift calendars per site
Working windows, exceptions and planned downtime for each site, in that site's own time zone.
Scrap and remakes
Scrap booked at the machine shows as a shortfall on the order straight away, with a remake one click away.
Late jobs, with the cause
The planner sees which jobs will miss their date and what is holding each one: a machine, a supplier or material.
Batch the repeats
Spots the same part due twice and offers to run them side by side, saving a setup.
Load against capacity
Work centres heading over capacity are flagged weeks out, while there is still time to subcontract or move work.

Beta partner programme
We're building this with machine shops, not just for them.
A small group of precision engineering firms is using Amplify ERP early and shaping what gets built next. There is room for a few more.
- Early access to the full system
- A direct line to the people building it
- A say in what gets built next
