Description
Aligned Product Wheels™ are used by Phenix scheduling and planning software to optimize inventory changeovers and inventory changes, and align production with business goals such as customer service, cost, and working capital. Schedules are used to determine the order and timing of production of hundreds of products from multiple production lines. Correct production sequences reduce changeover costs. Every out-of-sync product makes it more difficult to changeover and costs time and money. The correct cycle times are balanced between inventory costs and changeover costs. Too short or too long cycles can cause problems with customer service and inventory. Phenix product wheels assign product family lines to product lines and optimize the production sequence for minimal changeover loss.
Description
The landscape of manufacturing is undergoing a significant transformation due to digitalization, compelling companies to adapt swiftly and smartly to unforeseen shifts while managing reduced lead times and fulfilling customer expectations. This pressure is not exclusive to large corporations; small and medium-sized enterprises also face similar hurdles. To address these challenges, Siemens has developed Opcenter APS (previously known as Preactor APS), which employs sophisticated algorithms to align demand with capacity, thus producing feasible production schedules. These tools are versatile enough to support long-term strategic planning extending over months or years, as well as medium-term tactical planning that spans several weeks, and can also handle intricate sequencing and scheduling tasks. Siemens Opcenter APS is designed for immediate installation and can be tailored as needed, functioning independently for planning and scheduling, while also being compatible for integration with additional software solutions to enhance overall operational efficiency.
