Production Scheduling Block scheduling is integrated within PIMS.  Simply identify the tons and grades or product groups and their sequence, and the system projects the block dates.  Orders are allocated to the block schedule according to  the desired due dates.  PIMS considers trimmed versus untrimmed allocation in determining the tonnage available for the block and warns PIMS sales/service and reps when a promised date needs to be moved ahead or back, or whether production blocks have to be expanded.  Manual tracking is not required.
