Production Management

Imagine always having a plan that best meets your cost (or profit), throughput and delivery goals given your current order mix and resource availability.

How do you decide which jobs to run and when? Where are your capacity bottlenecks? Which orders will be late? More importantly, how do you manage these issues without sacrificing profitability, throughput, and on-time delivery goals?

The Viewlocity Production Engine (VPE) integrates production scheduling and shop floor execution in real time as it concurrently synchronizes order fulfillment activities and resources. Its dynamic synchronization, real-time execution and continuous feedback give you control at every level of your manufacturing operations. VPE has been successfully used in many diverse manufacturing environments from Lean to complex job shops.

Simply define your goals and use the software to determine the best plan based on your specific cost, cycle time and on-time delivery objectives. VPE allows planners and schedulers to create multiple “what if” scenarios to see the cost impact before the commitment of resources and capital.

VPE customers have experienced significant performance improvements in the following areas:

• Decreased cycle times

• Increased productivity and throughput

• Decreased inventory levels

• Increased customer service reliability
