The ABBASOFT Technologies Master Schedule Module is a production tool used to perform "What If" scheduling calculations based on current shop loads and user established requirements on a weekly or monthly basis. The master schedule can be repeated prior to loading and reloaded as often as required to meet satisfactory production schedules.

Master Schedules use existing Bills of Material and Shop Routers to calculate completion dates of the required products.Two types of explosion routines are included with Master Scheduling: Forward and Backward.Forward Explosion calculates completion dates for all parts with master schedules, based on the existing bills of material and shop routers. Completion dates entered in the master schedule are adjusted to reflect realistic completion during the explosion process.Backward Explosion operates similarly, but forces completion dates entered in the master schedule for parts to remain intact. It reports the amount of work per day needed to meet the proposed schedule. Both explosion types may include or exclude current shop loads.Multiple Master Schedules can be entered for trial explosion with quantity requirements specified by week or by month. The starting week or month is entered first, then the Master Schedule module provides twenty-six (26) extended dates for quantity requirements to be entered. Master Schedules can be loaded in the Information Entry portion of the module at any time and reloaded as often as necessary. All explosions are held in temporary files until loaded into the Master Schedule module. Once loaded, the new master schedule will create work orders based on the master schedule."What If" calculations can be performed by adjusting operation times and work center rates.

Operations and Work Centers are included and allow adjustments for:

Work Center:
- Rates
- Outside Processing
- Number of Shifts
- Capacity per Shift
- Shift Efficiency Percent
Operation:
- Set-Up Time
