Monitor and improve the efficiency of production processes.
Challenge:
The company has 350 machines. Worktime monitoring should be introduced where possible. In this way, it would be possible to see at which workstation the work is stopped for longer or at which workstation it should be expanded so as not to create the so-called bottlenecks. Workstations without the ability to monitor machine worktime should be reported when parts arrive at them and when they leave the workstation.
Currently, many workstations that do not have machines, for example, locksmith workstations, do not report receiving of parts or work on it. The system should be thought of in such a way that the delivery of parts to such workstations is recorded in the system and that the start of work on them is registered. Employees should report the moment they start and finish work on a given part of the system. Also, a control system for older machines should be designed in order to have data on the machine’s operating time.
Main Requirements:
- Optimization of production planning and scheduling,
- Improved machine utilization,
- Reduction of machine downtime,
- Optimization of material flow.
