To answer my own question for future reference:
currently manufacturing job scheduling is not part of OFBiz.
alternative open source job schedulers are:
http://www.frepple.com/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openworkbench/
http://www.taskjuggler.org/
to which OFBiz could interface
There is also no link between fixed assets in manufacturing and the
fixed assets in accounting/asset maintenance, for the scheduler and for
fixed asset maintenance that would be an advantage (amount of time the
fixed asset was used)

We are getting more requests to implement OFBiz for manufacturing

In general they are pleased with the functionality except for the
production planning which is missing. Further there are fixed assets
but they are not connected to the accounting system or asset maintenance.
What is needed is a scheduler which plans the production runs looking
at the last possible finish date and the available fixed assets
(machines/equipment/tools) used in the runs.
Question to the community:
Anybody already looked into how to do the production planning in
manufacturing?
