Manufacturing and planning processes are becoming more complex, caused by the increased product mix, complex manufacturing, and supply chain challenge.
Products may need multiple operations on different machines at various run rates. It’s hard to schedule these operations without overloading bottleneck machines and risking an increase in Work in Progress.
Besides the finite capacity of resources, the overall plant capacity is restricted by outsourcing capacity, and the availability of skilled operators, tools, and materials.
Once you create a schedule, something will happen, such as machine breakdown, operators leaving home sick, material shortages, etc. Calculating the downstream impact of these changes is extremely painful.
Advanced Scheduling considers both resource, operators and material availability, and allows you to rapidly create a schedule that meets your company’s KPIs.
You can quickly perform “what if scenarios” and reschedule multiple times per day considering the real production progress.
Imagine you could provide the organization valuable data like bottlenecks, labour and material shortages, inefficiencies, and delivery issues. How do you think that will benefit your company?
Do you want to work smarter and streamline your production schedule?
