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.

Watch this planning production video to know more:

This type of production planning is suitable for installation companies (kitchen or bathroom installation for example) but also garage planning, project scheduling etc... 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.

It is now possible to assign several projects to one client.

To do so, on the project card, you now have a drop down menu to assign a client to the project.

Results on the planning*:
1- While filtering by client, only projects associated to this client will appear on the project filter.

2- While creating a new task:
-    if you select one client first, projects associated to this client will appear on the project list.
-    If you select a project first, the client will be selected by default on the client list.

*NB: To adapt the project filter as described above, activate the option on the menu Tools -> Option -> User
