PlanningPME can now be used as an easy-to-use production planning.

You can define easily the different kind of templates you have while doing your planning: A template is composed of successive tasks with different durations. You can even assign by default each activity to one particular resource.

Then, while doing your planning, you can start from one of your template (instead of creating each task one by one) and have your job drawn in just some clicks.

The planner will then just need to drag and drop his jobs from one resource to another depending on availability and workload.

Indeed, for each new order, always the same planning steps follow and the solution provided by Target Skills allow you to save time and have a good visual and graphical planning. Assigning your jobs to your employees is just fast via a drag and drop. You can even have a search for availability and a check to avoid double booking.
