Efficient production planning is essential for meeting delivery deadlines, reducing bottlenecks, and optimising machine and labour utilisation. Many factories still use spreadsheets or manual planning methods, resulting in delays, material shortages, unbalanced workloads, and increased production costs.
PySquad develops advanced Odoo Production Planning & Scheduling systems that help manufacturers forecast demand, allocate resources, balance workloads, and schedule production with precision. Our solution brings clarity, efficiency, and real-time control to factory operations.

FAQs
1. Can Odoo plan based on machine capacity?
Yes. Work center capacity and efficiency are fully considered.
2. Does the system support Gantt-style visual planning?
Yes. We implement drag-and-drop planners for scheduling.
3. Can delays auto-trigger rescheduling?
Yes. Automated replanning can be enabled.
4. Does it forecast production needs?
Yes. MPS and demand forecasting tools are available.
5. Can planners track workload across all work centers?
Yes. Real-time dashboards provide complete visibility.
