ManufacturingBottleneck
- Rough-cut capacity planning alone cannot determine detailed machine production part numbers and work orders.
- Does continuous production impact delivery?
- Is there order-based production and warehousing?
- Purchasing is based on aggregate demand.
Ineffective production and inventory management results in excessive inventory.
- We cannot accurately estimate order delivery times, which affects customer satisfaction and business development.
- We cannot assess the impact of inserting rush orders on other orders, which may lead to delays in other deliveries.
- We rely solely on rough plans and experience to determine work order start and completion times, lacking scientific accuracy and easily causing scheduling chaos and resource waste.
- We rely solely on employee experience to determine which molds are used for each part number, lacking systematic management and easily causing errors and inefficiency.
Untimely and opaque information hinders operational efficiency improvement.

Work Order Size Range
挑戰
- Work orders cannot be closed/reconciled daily
- All material requirements are issued to the shop floor and accumulate
- Finished goods work orders can only be assembled at the very end
對策
- Implement a product series production days maintenance function.
- Calculate the maximum material production quantity using production days and daily output (or actual man-hours), and update the APS material master.
How to Improve Production Uptime
挑戰
Frequent changeovers reduce production uptime, impacting profitability.
對策

- Close delivery dates
- Produce consecutively with the previous work order.
- To minimize changeover time.
- Increase uptime and lower overhead costs.
- Boost on-time delivery.
