Comprehensive production management system

On behalf of our client, we have created a comprehensive manufacturing execution software. The dedicated application allows supervision and planning of work and resources. The state-of-the-art technology of the solution also enables the automation of processes and real-time insight into production operations.

Description of implementation

Challenges:

  • Printing hard copy orders for employees, with no details on how to complete the order.
  • The need for managers to distribute orders on an ongoing basis, at their discretion.
  • Lack of immediate feedback to employees on whether they completed the order well.
  • A problem with aggregate data analysis for the entire company, due to the lack of transparency in the system and the difficulty of accessing individual information.
  • Very general planning, caused by the huge number of orders and reliance solely on human intuition.

Goals to be achieved:

  • The meticulous collection of detailed data and recording of all events from the shop floor.
  • Recording reasons for rejections and quantities damaged.
  • Transparent production plan available in real-time, on the fly.
  • Ability to view the progress of orders.
