Manufacturing Software for Production Planners

Stop Managing Shifts. Start Seeing Them Shifts change. Bank holidays disrupt patterns. Night-and-day performance needs to be compared. And somehow, you’re expected to keep everything accurate, up to date, and meaningful.

FourJaw’s Production Planning module is built to handle how production actually works, not how software assumes it does.

Finally, Compare What Actually Matters

Most planners know the problem:

“I know something’s off… but I can’t isolate it by shift.”

Now you can.

Every widget in FourJaw can be filtered by shift type, unlocking a completely new level of visibility.

Instantly:

Compare day vs night shift performance
Spot shift-specific downtime issues
Analyse weekend vs weekday production
Build shift-specific dashboards for teams

Right Resources at the Right Time

Whether it’s people, materials or tooling, ensuring the right resources are available at the right time on the right job is critical to ensuring production downtime is minimised to maintain your KPIs such as utilisation or OEE.

Real-Time View of Your Factory With a complete, real-time view of your factory floor, including workflow status, you can confidently respond to production bottlenecks before there is a negative impact on your customer’s order.

Smarter shift planning, better production performance.

Plan shifts with a flexible, visual calendar that makes it easy to create recurring schedules, manage one-off changes and keep production plans accurate.

Compare performance across different shifts to understand where output, downtime and efficiency vary, helping you make better-informed planning decisions.

You may have been in the position where you think I need to buy another machine. Because you think you’ve got a capacity problem, but now we use FourJaw we can see where we have capacity that I'm not using.
