Optessa FAQs
Optessa product overview
What is Optessa?
Optessa Inc. (Optessa) is a leader in intelligent planning, sequencing and scheduling optimization software with successful implementations among top tier global manufacturers. Companies using Optessa products have made significant reductions in manufacturing costs by enabling lean and flexible operations without adding resources.
Key benefits of using Optessa
Optessa supports multiple penalty functions types for use in the event that a constraint is violated, with users able to select how penalties are applied.
Flexible definition allows line capacity to be expressed in terms of ‘slots per hour/day/week/shift’, ‘available time by shift patterns’, or both in combination, with users able to select different capacities for individual hours/days/weeks to accommodate changes in line capacity.
Users can view and alter the sequence of orders or lots, with the system immediately reporting new penalty costs, and the ability to drill down on any violations.
Multiple ‘what if’ scenarios and simulations can be run, stored, and compared as part of the planning process.

Very positive experience. The Optessa tools do a much better job than our legacy applications in fulfilling to our Production Plans on the initial run. Has helped in pulling the build of Retail over stock orders ahead in the schedule.
Quality of Scheduling and Sequencing output is very good. Does an excellent job of honoring the various constraints required by our business.
We receive consistent feedback from our business users that the run times are too long.

I like the clear structure of process solution
Quality assessment of sequencing independent of the instruction sets. To reach a certain data / sequence quality you can use different distribution instructions, but OPTESSA does not support an instruction independent quality metric.

It's well built for what it does. But as a user who is in the application for hours every day, there are opportunities to improve on the interface.
The layout and the flow or the sequencing tool is intuitive. Support has been available to answer questions along the way.
The unnecessary confirmation mouse clicks. If I'm not committing something, you don't need to confirm mouse clicks with and "OK" button. Just take the action. Also, I'd like to be able to open multiple windows with the application running for different functions. Can't do that currently.
