Assembly planning
Assembly planning often causes problems in terms of scheduling, both in component and machine and systems engineering. Missing parts, highly-individualized units and growing parts lists often prevent on-time planning. In addition, there are often a lot of customer-specific changes.
Overview
The emergency is routine in production: the assembly is threatening to stagnate.... the production worker starts with a list of missing parts in their hand.
The complex task of assembly planning is to monitor the production and procurement processes so that all necessary parts, materials and resources are available at the start of assembly. In addition to economic efficiency, there should also be a high degree of flexibility in the processes involved - be it for a fixed-station assembly system, synchronized flow or “one-piece-flow” assembly. In order to achieve these goals and offer strong and profitable solutions as well as a reliable partner, intelligent production planning is indispensable.
Solution FELIOS Features
With FELIOS, the work, procurement and provisioning processes can be optimally synchronized for assembly in order to not delay the assembly start and consequently the customer delivery date. Special features ensure a smooth assembly process:
- Special planning function
Dynamic and flexible inflow of parts and components for assembly.
- Order scheduling against limited capacities
Optimization of assembly with target parameters for adherence to schedules and utilization.
- Early warning system
Early detection of critical parts leads to an on-schedule assembly.
- Good visualization
All information on the planning situation is presented clearly and attractively.
Benefits
By mapping the complex manufacturing and procurement processes in production, FELIOS ensures that all necessary parts are available at the beginning of assembly. You can also expect this from FELIOS:
-
Reduction of missing parts
Massively defused missing parts problem in the assemblies.
-
Increased on-time delivery
Reliable date statements to customers can be made.
-
Reduction of the control effort
Optimized control and planning leads to less effort despite increasing order volumes.
-
Cost reduction
Improved workflows and fewer shifts reduce assembly costs.
-
Revaluation of jobs
Production workers gain time for further development of other work processes.
