The Graphical Planning Board is a basic finite capacity scheduler which enables manual manipulation of the schedule via a graphical Gantt chart view and provides limited rules and features for automatic scheduling. It schedules using basic forward and backward scheduling algorithms and considers only the main resource (machine) required for an operation as a constraint. It is ideal for smaller manufacturing companies that need to schedule a small number of production jobs at any point in time, or those manufacturing companies who have only basic scheduling requirements.
