Dynamic Production Scheduling
Overview
Dynamic Production Scheduling revolutionises manufacturing operations by employing AI algorithms to optimise production schedules in real-time, considering multiple constraints like machine availability, workforce capacity, and demand fluctuations.
Problem
- Traditional static scheduling leads to production inefficiencies and missed deadlines.
- Manual schedule adjustments cause significant downtime and resource wastage.
- Inability to quickly respond to unexpected events (equipment failures, rush orders).
- Poor visibility into resource utilisation and capacity constraints.
- Difficulty in balancing multiple competing priorities.
- Increased operational costs due to suboptimal scheduling decisions.
Solution
- Real-time schedule optimisation based on current shop floor conditions.
- Predictive maintenance integration to prevent disruptions.
- Automated resource allocation and constraint management.
- Dynamic priority adjustment for orders.
- What-if scenario planning capabilities.
- Integration with ERP and MES systems.
- Mobile access for shop floor personnel.
