BACKGROUND
A potato chips processing equipment manufacturer needed to optimize production planning, improve resource utilization, and enhance manufacturing efficiency across fabrication, assembly, testing, and project delivery operations. For this, we implemented Opcenter APS.
CHALLENGE
- Long manufacturing lead times for customized equipment
- Capacity constraints across fabrication and assembly departments
- Material availability and inventory management issues
- Production bottlenecks affecting assembly and testing throughput
- High material wastage and inefficient resource utilization
- Limited visibility of project progress and manufacturing workloads
- Difficulty meeting customer delivery schedules
APPROACH
- Data Integration – Centralized production and resource data.
- Capacity Planning – Optimized fabrication, assembly, and testing capacities.
- Smart Scheduling – Implemented finite-capacity production scheduling.
- Real-Time Monitoring – Tracked production status and workloads.
- Continuous Optimization – Improved performance through analytics and planning.
