JobSpan Print Production Scheduling and Planning
The JobSpan System was originally developed to operate with
the Keren II Management Information System. This MIS was previously supplied
by Isys plc and more recently by Radius Solutions Limited.
The objective was to develop a web-based system that would
allow the plan to be accessed anywhere and provide the user with an electronic
version of a traditional planning board. Whilst there are some rules to placing
jobs on the board, these have been kept to a minimum to allow an experienced
planner total control over the system. Jobs can be downloaded directly from
the Keren database and once loaded to the board, the progress and tracking
is also updated from the database.
