Plant Manager is Constraint-based planning and scheduling software for balancing material and plant resources while meeting customer demand. It takes into account constraints at the enterprise and plant levels. Material and capacity constraints are considered simultaneously. 

 The Theory of Constraints is a methodology for identifying the most important limiting factor (i.e., constraint) that stands in the way of achieving a goal and then systematically improving that constraint until it is no longer the limiting factor. In manufacturing, the constraint is often referred to as a bottleneck. 

Successful implementation of this solution drives a number of advantages: 

• It improves capacity utilization and material planning  
• It enables more products to be manufactured. 
• It increases profitability 
• It reduces lead time by optimizing the constraint.
• It creates a smoother and faster product flow and improves traceability.
