Production Planning & Scheduling for Aerospace & Defense

Lösungsfunktionen

• Advanced Constraint Modeling

  Model advanced resource constraints and advanced inter-operation constraints including limits on the time between operations and whether or not they can be extended.

• Advanced Material Handling

  Implement customer-specific rules to account for how materials are to be consumed.

• Advanced Schedule Optimization

  Define additional schedule optimization rules to minimize changeover times, account for preferred sequencing, and campaigning. Build composite rules with the workflow tool.

• Assembly Process Visualization

  Visualize the production process from raw materials through to finished goods and sales orders.  Identify material dependencies and see where shortages will occur.

• BOM Level Planning

  Calculate proposed purchase requirements from asset planning BOMs. Export to an ERP system, Excel, etc. for action as needed.

• Development Environment

  Access and alter the database schema as required to solve specific scheduling problems and create custom data manipulation tools for use with the workflow engine.

• Interactive Schedule Viewing

  View, search, and interact with schedules to track the progress of orders, assess production performance, and provide up to the minute work-to-do lists.

• Interactive Schedule Visualization

  Display the master production schedule as stock and capacity graphs. Easily edit it and visualize the changes reflected in linked plots and grids.

• Make-To-Order Planning

  Evaluate effects of future demand changes and quickly assess if it is possible for your facility or operation to meet new requirements.

• Operations & Detailed Scheduling

  Implement closed-loop scheduling between the production planning and MES systems. Create detailed schedules based on business rules and real-time information about equipment status and capabilities.

• Order Based Multi-Constraint Scheduling

  Create schedules taking in to account different operation run speeds of different resources. Use sequence-dependent changeover times based on operation attributes, and allow overlaps and slack time between operations.
