Corrugator Scheduling (CSC)

Fully integrated and totally automatic, Kiwiplan Corrugator Scheduling comprehensively covers every aspect of corrugator management including

  • Automatic links to sales order processing systems
  • Sophisticated scheduling for all types of corrugators
  • Direct connections to the corrugator
  • Comprehensive production reporting

With Full Plant Scheduling, the system's machine-based scheduling automatically selects only the orders that meet the plant's preset WIP levels for the converting machines and shipping. The system's order-based scheduling schedules all board grades and flutes for a designated time period at one time with just a few mouse clicks. The system allows you to adjust the parameters so that the plant runs the corrugator as a self-trimming single knife machine.

Corrugator Scheduling gives complete cost breakdowns for:

  • Trim
  • Upgrade/downgrade costs
  • Costs for each board grade
  • Waste
