What is Routing generally used for in the world of manufacturing or engineering?

Routing is the backbone of any manufacturing process, but it can be used in any business that has Parts and Works Orders, or processes in place, to make a part or assemble a part in a certain sequence. It defines the exact path each product takes through your facility including every operation, workcentre, and machine involved. A routing system captures these details to build highly accurate production plans, giving you:

Visibility of every job’s journey from raw material to finished goods

Granular control over setup times, cycle times, and external subcontract steps

Real-time scheduling aligned with capacity and resource availability

For the modern workplace, designing and implementing a business continuity Plan is crucial - not least for those businesses who depend highly on their IT infrastructure.

When you need us, we’ll be on hand to help with everything, from planning to implementation, via our IT Service Desk and consultants.

Why choose the ArtiRoute system from Whalley Computer Systems?

💡 Smarter Decisions Using Real-Time Data 

WOMS uses live data and predictive logic to make better routing and scheduling decisions. For example:

When cumulative prior supply exceeds cumulative demand, the system can delay or reschedule upcoming work intelligently avoiding unnecessary WIP buildup and reducing production costs.

This results in a leaner operation and more responsive planning that adapts to real-world conditions.

📅 More Accurate Production Schedules 

The ArtiRoute platform doesn’t guess it calculates.

With detailed knowledge of cycle times, setup times, and even subcontract durations, WOMS produces highly accurate production schedules. Whether you're running high-mix low-volume or repetitive production, you get dependable timings, reduced bottlenecks, and optimized resource utilization.

📦 Know Your WIP Like Never Before

Work out your WIP stock value faster and better than ever before.

WOMS gives you smarter and more accurate WIP (Work In Progress) valuations. Real time tracking of each routing step, operation progress, and actual job data means your WIP figures are precise and dynamic helping you make informed financial and operational decisions.
