Examples are power train, transmission
assembly and seats.
- Virtual line setup balances requirements
across multiple lines while optimizing both capacity and line
capability.
- Ability to set process times based on product and
line for flex or line specific models.
- Ability to
adjust requirement due dates based on shipping lead time for multiple
destinations which allows parts to be scheduled in such a way inventory
can be minimized.
- Ability to minimize and smooth overtime usage
across multiple lines based on optimal conditions and/or user specified
shift preferences.
- Capability to manage multiple constraint types
that consider –
- Customized scheduling process: for
example, daily / weekly / monthly.
Examples are main valve body, gears,
crankshaft machining and head liners.
- Derive requirements from multiple sources
including main / feeder line requirements
- Consider exceptional requirements such as special
builds, service parts, and any other demand sources.
- Manage multiple constraint types such as Inventory
targets, ramp up / down requirements, order due dates and build order
preferences.
- Manage fluctuating demand of main / feeder lines
across available capacity by using inventory targets to maintain a
smooth schedule.
- Considers planned down time due to part change
over / line setup, line efficiencies, scrap rates and part cycle times.
- Tight synchronization of
schedule with requirements.
- Schedule multiple lines
simultaneously based on a “Virtual Line” set up.
- Optimal schedule based on actual operating
conditions and constraints.
- Reduce operating costs.
- Overtime smoothing.
- Better inventory management while maintaining
delivery conformance.
- Improved accuracy and reduced scheduling process
times.
