Planning and scheduling software for Mechanics
Challenges for the Mechanics industry
Increasing competition, changing markets... In this challenging environment, you must constantly control and reduce your lead times and costs: goals that require optimum use of resources and perfect synchronization of production flows.
- 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
- Optimize changeovers on production lines
- Reduce inventories
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
