BACKGROUND
A water bottle filling and packing line manufacturer implemented Opcenter APS to optimize production planning, improve resource utilization, and ensure on-time machine delivery.
CHALLENGE
- Manual production planning and scheduling
- Resource conflicts across fabrication, assembly, and testing
- Limited visibility of project progress and workloads
- Material availability impacting production schedules
- Difficulty managing delivery commitments
- Delays caused by bottlenecks and schedule changes
APPROACH
- Data Integration
Integrated project schedules, BOMs, materials, and resource data into a centralized APS platform. - Capacity Planning
Defined fabrication, assembly, electrical integration, testing, and commissioning capacities with resource constraints. - Production Scheduling
Implemented finite-capacity scheduling and optimized manufacturing sequences. - Monitor & Execute
Enabled real-time project tracking, workload monitoring, and schedule management. - Continuous Improvement
Utilized analytics and bottleneck analysis to improve planning accuracy and execution performance.
