The Phenix Scheduler Background
Phenix Scheduler has been developed by a multi-functional team:
Planning and scheduling practitioners with many years of experience in world-class companies.
A technical design team using modern software design principles and tools.
We watched people use Excel-based Product Wheel sequencing enablers in a variety of industries.
A better, more consistent, and more supportable scheduling tool than Excel is needed.
Phenix Scheduler is a suite of functions that support planning and adjustment of schedules.
Phenix is meant to be simple, to fill a niche between Excel and the expensive and complex supply chain planning software that is out of reach for many businesses.
