Who is Preactor International ?

What is detailed scheduling?WIKIPEDIA : Scheduling is an important tool for manufacturing and engineering, where it can have a major impact on the productivity of a process. In manufacturing, the purpose of scheduling is to minimize the production time and costs, by telling a production facility when to make, with which staff, and on which equipment.

And this is done ……using finite capacity
