Capacity Planning
is designed to enforce
maximum efficiency
within a
foundry
.
The
software
enables a company to plan around their
maximum capacity
, offering the ability to
save the details of a specific part and
plan for each stage of production
.
AmmNet
's
production planning system
offers a
simple, intuitive user interface
which is capable of performing complex tasks.
Order Scheduling
AmmPro
,
AmmNet
's manufacturing product, is capable of
importing customer schedules
from spreadsheets or csv files, and automatically adding details
into the system. Orders are then added into the
customer orderbook
and
scheduled automatically
against
work centre
and back flushed from customer due date to give the
latest start date
and
visibility of work centre loading by week
.
Order Processing
As an order progresses, each
stage of production
is recorded, storing infomation including
gross production
,
surplus stock
, and
scrap
. This allows the company to
effectively
plan production levels
to allow for scrap/surplus in future orders based on the
success rate of a part or process
.
Strategic Production Planning
By recording
production information
, it is possible to see the
success rate
of
individual parts and processes
. It also makes it possible to
determine demand
of a particular product, and
decide on a
strategy
, (for example,
lead strategy)
in order to ensure
maximum efficiency
and
on–time delivery
.
Delivery Performance
Delivery performance
is a vital part of any order processing system.
AmmPro
utilises its
production calendar
, which excludes non–production days, such as weekends and bank holidays, to
determine a deadline for shipment
and
start times of each production process.
