A retort schedule is only as useful as the accuracy of its time blocks. Cremation times vary based on case weight, container type, and retort temperature. A schedule built on uniform time blocks will drift from reality as the day progresses. CemSites cremation scheduling software allows crematories to set variable time blocks based on case characteristics, reducing the cascading delays caused by underestimating individual case duration.
Capacity planning over longer periods depends on the same data. A crematory evaluating whether current retort count can handle projected volume growth needs scheduling history showing average daily throughput, peak utilization, and frequency of capacity-related delays. CemSites captures this history as a byproduct of daily scheduling, making capacity analysis available from data already in the system.
