Our customer is a specialist high precision turning and machining company, using CNC machines and assembly teams to manufacture their products. We have built production planning tools for the business including a Web Based Planning Board, Order Projected Availability tool, and other decision support applications that visualise information from their Ostendo ERP system. The Planning Board has replaced their magnetic ticket whiteboards that were across two walls in the planning office. Now any staff that need to view planned work can bring it up on their own PC. The information on the tickets is dynamic, reflecting the current status of each job, saving time spent on manual marking up of tickets with status information. The Order Projected Availability tool allows the users to see future availability of parts for orders, significantly reducing manual work to work out whether an order can be shipped by a particular date. We have also developed a small application that sends out a text alert when a machine goes down out of hours. This reduces downtime, as an operator can respond and get the machine running again to maximise production overnight. We have worked closely with this customer, to continue refining and evolving the applications and incorporate their production philosophies to plan and prioritise work through the business.
