Production scheduling is the process of maximizing the efficiency of production through the detailed planning of manufacturing operations in the short-term. In this blog post, we will illustrate how exactly this has been done using real-world examples from different ...
Production Scheduling Software for Metal Meshes Factory
... ultimately manufacture metal meshes. The factory runs mostly under a make-to-stock policy, so it is critical to have a good demand forecast and a balanced production schedule to guarantee a diverse product offering. Problem Originally, the production scheduling was carried out manually by the planning team using spreadsheets, so it was difficult to consider relevant factors involved in the production scheduling. As a result, schedules could not be strictly detailed, and overall productivity was quite ...
Truss Production Planning and Scheduling: Improve Throughput with Optimization
... efficient, with reduced working at height improving safety, when using automation. As a part of the digital workflows, simulation could play a vital role in these projects to make them faster and smarter. Solution: Creating a simulation to support production planning and scheduling To optimize truss production planning and schedules, Bryden Wood developed a simulation model of the factory system. They believe that simulation is a core approach for the future of the construction industry. For the previous research,...
Solutions to healthcare challenges: from hospital design to disease spread
... scheduling and manage patients in hospitals. One of our clients, Indiana University Health Arnett Hospital (US), wanted to develop a scheduling methodology that would benefit the doctors and patients of the outpatient clinic. The model helped doctors test different ... ... doctors could make informed decisions on drug dosage for a patient and observe a treatment effect. Pharmaceutical supply chains, production planning, and marketing Simulation is also useful in pharmaceutical supply chains and production planning. For example,...
Analysis of Management Strategies for Aircraft Production Ramp-up
... Since 2012 a group of 14 European companies and research institutes have developed novel planning and control solutions in the European public funded project ARUM (Adaptive Production Management; www.arum-project.eu) to overcome those challenges in production ramp-up. The validation of the developed control strategies and their implementation into novel planning and scheduling solutions within a realistic industrial environment is mandatory and several industrial use Cases have been selected, e.g. an Airbus system installation flowline in Hamburg. [...] Growing competition and a high demand for individual and ...
