Planning and scheduling software for Automotive and Original Equipment Manufacturers
Automotive industry background
You are faced with low levels of growth in you main markets and the constraints of increasing productivity and investing in extremely volatile emerging areas. The problems are as follows:
- Shortening the life cycle of segments and products
- A hypersegmentation strategy: production runs are increasingly shorter and the novelty effect is shortening.
- Line renewal difficulties
- Strong pressure from manufacturers who pass their cost constraints on to original equipment manufacturers
Challenges for the Automotive industry:
- Simulate new products on production lines
- Anticipate and control large scale load fluctuations
- Coordinate your production flows with your critical supplies
- Synchronize multiple interdependent shops that have different jobs and processes
- Manage large quantities of data, bills of material and complex/alternative lines
- Manage multi-skilled laborers
- Improve your relationships with your suppliers
Our answer
Optimize and synchronize your production flows to:
- Analyze, anticipate and simulate in the medium-term
- Analyze the load/capacity balance for internal and external resources
- Stabilize shops thanks to decisions made in advance and not on an emergency basis
- Coordinate and synchronize production flows and critical supplies
- Have permanent visibility of the various shops
- Resource management (labor and machines) and better use of their versatility, for increased productivity
- Optimization of sequencing operations by workstation
- Synchronization and acceleration of production flows, for decreased cycle times
- Overall visibility thanks to links between WOs (semi-finished and finished products)
- Increased responsiveness to unforeseen production events and business disturbances
- Make schedules more reliable
