MAPP ADEPT - Advanced Scheduling Module
Designed to address manufacturing complexities for EFFICIENT GOOD DELIVERY
Scheduling your shop floor should not be a complicated affair involving long meetings every morning spent preparing spreadsheets, only to have a new incoming order send you back to square one. In order to remain competitive in the long term, production companies must plan effectively, utilize their resources efficiently and react quickly to customer demands.
The central element of our MAPP ADEPT Advanced scheduling module is the graphic planning board in the form of a Gantt chart. Scheduling your production orders and work steps, according to the individual production stages, directly onto the available machines (machine allocation) will remove the need for manually operated pegboards or confusing Excel spreadsheets. Instead, you’ll be able to respond in real time to changes in delivery quantities and deadlines, as well as critical situations at the machine.
MAPP ADEPT is designed to address complexities associated with manufacturing so you can plan, schedule, execute, and deliver goods as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Benefits
- Optimization of Schedules.
- Increase On-Time Delivery.
- Improve Productivity & Profitability.
- Real time feedback of planned vs Actual.
- Identify the best start time, and the best machine usage.
- Visual scheduling provides a graphical view of entire manufacturing.
Case Studies
A manufacturing unit used Excel for production planning but due to a large number of product types and multiple processes for each product they were finding it challenging to stay on top of it. It also resulted in delays and customer dissatisfaction.
Deployment of the MAPP Adept module helped easier planning & scheduling, taking into consideration machine efficiencies and cycle time information collected from the MAPP Eye module. WIP was also tracked and shown in Gant charts.
The manufacturer now had visibility of WIP in real-time and a prediction of when each batch is likely to finish ( actual vs Estimated). This helped make alternate arrangements where necessary and improve delivery targets.
