Production Planning & Scheduling

Fonctionnalités de la solution

• Advanced Constraint Modeling

  Model advanced resource constraints and advanced inter-operation constraints including limits on the time between operations and if they can be extended.

• Advanced Material Handling

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

• Advanced Schedule Optimization

  Define additional manufacturing schedule optimization rules to minimizing changeover times, account for preferred sequencing, and campaigning.

• Assembly Process Visualization

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

• BOM Level Planning

  Calculate the impact of proposed purchase requirements from asset planning BOMs and export to an ERP system, Excel, etc. for action as needed.

• Development Environment (Ultimate)

  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 progress of orders, assess production performance, and provide up to the minute work-to-do lists.

• Interactive Schedule Visualization

  Display the Master machine 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 to meet new requirements of your manufacturing operation.

• Make-to-Stock Planning

  In a make-to-stock environment, you can generate accurate and achievable master production schedules (MPS) considering rough cut capacity, pack forward figures, target days of stock cover, manufacturing preferences, minimum and maximum re-order quantities, re-order multiples and product shelf life. Production capacity can be specified as a quantity, duration or weight. By using the Preactor calendar system capacity, production capacity can be varied over time. The capacity available then limits the production volume created in each period.

• Operations & Detailed Scheduling

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

• Order Based Multi-Constraint Scheduling

  Create order based manufacturing schedules and apply rankings or weightings to prioritize the orders. Base schedules on availability of resources, additional constraints, and the materials required.
