Bluemingo Production Planning & Scheduling (PPS) is a web system for coordinating factory work from procurement through final dispatch. Its single schedule supports both make-to-order and make-to-stock production, including inventory thresholds and automatic order generation for stock items. The AI-powered scheduling tools predict order delivery dates using bookings, plant capacity, resource availability and production conditions. Planners can model booking scenarios, assess their effects on schedules and capacity, and prioritize orders against available production resources. Constraint management accounts for routing, equipment loads and changeovers, manpower, materials and maintenance. PPS can balance work across a company’s own plants and vendor factories, and it connects with Level 1 and Level 2 systems for production or quality decisions; specific integrations are not named. Bluemingo also describes shop-floor views for production, quality, order and material status, plus automated data capture with traceability and genealogy. The product is aimed at manufacturers, including those in steel, automotive, consumer goods and industrial manufacturing. Pricing is available through the sales team; no PPS price is listed.
