Reduction in schedule changes

20%

Increase in resource utilization

BACKGROUND

A milk cream separator manufacturer needed to optimize production planning, improve resource utilization, and enhance on-time delivery across machining, fabrication, assembly, and testing operations. For this, we implemented Opcenter APS.

CHALLENGE

  • Manual production planning and scheduling
  • Managing multiple customer orders and machine variants
  • Capacity constraints across machining and fabrication departments
  • Frequent schedule changes due to engineering revisions
  • Limited visibility of resource availability and workloads
  • Difficulty achieving on-time manufacturing and delivery targets

APPROACH

Data Integration
Integrated production orders, BOMs, inventory, resources, and project schedules into a centralized planning environment.

Capacity Modeling
Defined machining, fabrication, assembly, balancing, and testing capacities with resource constraints.

Planning & Scheduling
Implemented finite-capacity scheduling and optimized production sequencing.

Monitor & Execute
Enabled real-time production monitoring and schedule tracking.

Continuous Improvement
Utilized analytics and what-if scenario planning to improve production performance.

25% improvement in planning efficiency

20% reduction in schedule changes

15% increase in resource utilization

15% reduction in production bottlenecks

95%+ on-time machine delivery

Improved visibility across the entire production process
