Managing operational tasks within the manufacturing shop floor is an important responsibility of any production manager. As a result, production managers need the ability to efficiently oversee and manage the various operational tasks within the organization. Given the number of work orders that can be open and in process at any given time, this oversight duty places a considerable burden on production managers. To assist managers in this space, NetSuite has released the Manufacturing Schedule SuiteApp, which provides a graphical interface where you can view and manage operation tasks assigned to a work center. Like most NetSuite-developed SuiteApps, the Manufacturing Scheduler is available to install with no additional cost.
