STYLEplan is the industry-leading graphical planning tool, providing quick, simple and visual means of scheduling and loading orders directly against factories, production lines, machine types or any other key manufacturing resource. STYLEplan can be loaded directly from STYLEman Production, and orders may then be visualised on the board, changing colour dynamically as they are re-scheduled to indicate early, on-time or late completion.

An intuitive, simple graphical interface allows all problems to be seen on one screen and re-planning is as simple as moving orders with the mouse. STYLEplan takes care of all of the complex mathematics and allows you to concentrate on the decision making process enabling you to react quickly to changes in customer demands and difficulties in production whilst maintaining optimum use of resources.

Effectively, STYLEplan is the twenty-first century version of the traditional planning wallboard and "T" cards, but benefits from vastly superior visualisation.
