Resource management deals with the resources required to manufacture e.g., machines, tools, labor, and materials. Work units, tools, employee, and bill of material records. Resource Management is based on current and future requirements and performed in Enterprise Resource Planning and extended further within LYNQ to support operations management.

Detailed production scheduling optimizes the use of resources to meet production schedule requirements, taking into consideration resource and material availability The objective of detailed scheduling is to create and maintain a production plan and work schedules. Plan and prioritize operations to ensure maximum performance with minimal delay. Compare actual production to planned production. Reschedule the production plan and where schedules where work performance is not as expected, ensure delivery dates are not affected, where possible. Manage resource capacity. Simulate what-if scenarios to calculate production lead times. Provide effective management of bottleneck resources.

Execution management is the control of work through the sequence of operations as defined by the routing. Ensuring that tasks are released to the correct resources and performed within acceptable standards. Execution Management flows into data collection. The terminal feature can be used to build control into the manufacturing process. Terminals determine the functions that are available to a user for data collection and reporting purposes. The terminal definition represents a collection of predefined workbench elements which can be easily added or removed to suit the functions of your employees. Terminals are highly customizable and a flexible feature of LYNQ.

Performance analysis deals with the reporting of performance information and includes resource-based analysis such as overall labor effectiveness (OLE), overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), total effective equipment performance (TEEP) and product based analysis such as cycle times, procedural efficiencies and production variability. Performance analysis is visible in LYNQ with the exception of manufacturing cost analysis, which is obtained from Enterprise Resource Planning.
