Lean scheduling and detailed planning with real-time data

The gra­phi­cal plan­ning tool ams.control cent­re is an inte­gral part of the order manage­ment sys­tem ams.erp. Thanks to the seam­less ERP inte­gra­ti­on, the con­trol cent­re has access to real-time data that ful­ly reflects the cur­rent order situa­ti­on in pro­duc­tion. In addi­ti­on to the machi­ne capa­ci­ties and shift models, the mate­ri­al avai­la­bi­li­ties, BOP messages and order chan­ges are also ent­e­red into the simu­la­ti­on. The pro­duc­tion con­trol cent­re gra­phi­cal­ly pre­pa­res all plan­ning para­me­ters so that “what-if” sce­n­a­ri­os can be easi­ly play­ed out using drag and drop.

If the result of a simu­la­ti­on is not yet satis­fac­to­ry, for examp­le becau­se the­re are still late orders, the plan­ner can reset the cur­rent simu­la­ti­on and check alter­na­ti­ve sce­n­a­ri­os. If a simu­la­ti­on is appro­ved at the end of the plan­ning ses­si­on, ams.erp auto­ma­ti­cal­ly adjus­ts the affec­ted dead­lines, order BOMs and ope­ra­ti­ons. Using this method, the inte­gra­ted detail­ed plan­ning tool pro­du­ces pro­ces­ses that have no unwan­ted buf­fers or wait times. Cor­po­ra­te users can mini­mi­se pro­duc­tion times and ensu­re that their pro­ducts are deli­ve­r­ed on time.
