Easy Control and Coordination of all Manufacturing Resources

Globalisation and general economic, as well as ecological conditions, are posing ever-greater challenges to the manufacturing industry. Customer orientation in manufacturing companies is thus becoming increasingly important. Related to this is a greater diversity and complexity of products, which also affects the production process accordingly. Smaller batch sizes have to be processed even more effectively with existing resources. Short scheduled delivery dates and absolute adherence to deadlines are an absolute MUST!  Unfortunately, many planners or dispatchers cannot access up-to-date information from the manufacturing process. The actual task of manufacturing control (defining capacities, manufacturing progress, monitoring compliance with deadlines, balanced utilisation of resources) can therefore only be approached with a great deal of experience based on a “gut feeling”.

Manufacturing Planning and Control

The CapaTool module provides the possibility for detailed manufacturing control and planning of the manufacturing orders based on capacities and resources (manpower/machines/workstations). By using an electronic planning board, the current utilisation and planning of the manufacturing orders as well as the personnel situation can be visualised and rescheduling undertaken.
