Question 1

How does COSMO Task-based Scheduling support production planning?

Accepted Answer

COSMO Task-based Scheduling connects Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with the takt-based planning solution 3LITER-PPS® / COSMO TP from our partner LF Consult. Capacities, resources and material availability are monitored in real time and can be adjusted flexibly.Using the graphical planning board, you can reschedule orders, shifts and resources via drag and drop. Indicators immediately highlight bottlenecks in real time, while dashboards provide key figures for the shop floor and management. This enables your team to react quickly to changes and maintain control over deadlines, utilization and materials.

Question 2

Is the production planning software fully integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?

Accepted Answer

Yes. COSMO Task-based Scheduling is a fully integrated add-on for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. All changes synchronize directly with production, resource, and order data—no additional databases or interfaces required. Detailed scheduling, visualization, and execution take place in 3LITER-PPS® / COSMO TP (LF Consult), while all results are fully synchronized back to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This improves collaboration and enhances planning reliability.

Question 3

What advantages does the graphical planning board offer compared to traditional planning tools?

Accepted Answer

The graphical planning board provides intuitive drag & drop control, real-time traffic-light indicators, and automatic synchronization. Dependencies, bottlenecks, and deadlines are visualized clearly—so you immediately see where issues arise. Planners can respond faster, simulate scenarios, and optimize utilization. Complete audit logs ensure every change is traceable. The result: less coordination effort, greater visibility, and higher on-time delivery.
