Tactic The Tactic PC-based finite capacity scheduling and real-time shop floor module now uses touch-screen technology. When changes and problems occur, it allows immediate two-way communication between the Tactic scheduling module and the shop floor. When customer changes occur, the manufacturing team can reschedule with the Tactic scheduling module to see and deal with the effect. They can then immediately change the shop floor "to-do" list for the affected machines.
