frePPLe is an open-source production planning framework. The software is available as a free fully-functional Community Edition and as fee-based commercial versions: Enterprise, OEM, and Cloud.
Product history
frePPLe was started by Belgian developer Johan De Taeye[2] in May 2006 as an open-source project on both SourceForge and Ohloh.[3][1] On March 4, 2007, a new website was set up to better distribute information about the software.[4] The Community Edition of the software has seen steady releases since then, including a license change from the GNU Lesser General Public License to the GNU Affero General Public License in 2012.[5]
Features
The software comes in a Community Edition, described as "fully function without any limitations. Support is available from a mailing list. This edition is suitable for do-it-yourself projects, educational purposes, or a trial installation." The developer also offers an OEM edition "for companies that want to redistribute frePPle in a proprietary product," an Enterprise Edition "for companies wishing professional support" and "more advanced features," and a cloud-hosted version.[6]
The main features of frePPLe Community Edition include[6]:
- fixed and variable operation times
