The key to effective management
The key to effective production management in mechanical engineering and metalworking enterprises is the automation of production planning and reporting. This is tied to creating and maintaining the engineering and process documentation of products, and managing changes to it.
Production planning in TECHNOCLASS® is carried out on two levels, matching the discrete manufacturing environment of mechanical engineering and metalworking. Based on the sales plan, work in progress, stock levels and purchase orders, the system generates the production schedule using various planning parameters and modes.
Priority management arranges order execution according to available production capacity. A material shortage identified during balancing delays the start of production for that item. Automatic batch aggregation and the creation of production buffers are controlled through parameters, while the level of safety stock is adjusted automatically as demand changes.
The task of operational planning is to sequence the execution of operations and assign them to machines and workplaces, taking into account the capacity of their production resource. Operational planning only works when the organizational and technical conditions for real-time production reporting are in place. The system is used through stationary and mobile terminals, individual communication devices and controllers connected to the equipment. Receiving data in real time, managers react quickly to problems that arise.
Four key tasks in mechanical engineering
Design documentation – full management of products, drawings and their versions; changes are tracked throughout the entire chain
Process engineering – creating and maintaining routings with time and material norms for each operation
Production planning – automatic scheduling of machine and workplace load according to orders and capacity
Shop-floor reporting – a terminal system for real-time reporting of completed operations and quantities produced
