Overview of Product Configuration
FLEXSCHE GPis a comprehensive package software as a production scheduler, which can be operated independently, butFLEXSCHE GUI Extensionby incorporating it, you can gain convenient additional features and higher operability. Building a flexible and accurate operating environment will greatly assist in daily planning tasks.
Although you can edit CSV format data with the included data maintenance tool, creating accurate data requires high skills and considerable effort and concentration. By providing a graphical data editing environment,FLEXSCHE Editorcan be integrated into FLEXSCHE GP, allowing you to quickly and reliably create all the data necessary for scheduling. If the information already exists in a core system,FLEXSCHE EDIFcan be used to easily integrate the data.
The role of a production scheduler is not limited to planning. A production scheduler can be considered a highly modeled virtual factory, and the various data accumulated there can be described as a "treasure trove." By analyzing various indicators extracted from it from multiple perspectives, valuable information for the manufacturing industry can be unearthed. This is not only useful for planning tasks but also greatly aids in management decisions. The system that provides the means for this isFLEXSCHE Analyzer.
If you are unsure about the initial product configuration,FLEXSCHE Pack Productsare recommended. This is a set of various optional products and training courses with FLEXSCHE GP, which will prepare you for a comprehensive introduction. In fact, most users who have thoroughly considered their options choose the pack products.
There is no need to purchase an additional FLEXSCHE GP just to display the scheduling results on a Gantt chart on another PC. We offer an affordableFLEXSCHE Viewerthat can provide the same rich screen display as FLEXSCHE GP, even though it does not have scheduling functions. We also provideFLEXSCHE Web Viewerthat allows for easy drawing of Gantt charts, etc., on a web browser.
As you delve into data models and scheduling rules, you may sometimes encounter problems that cannot be resolved within the standard functions of FLEXSCHE GP. While you can take advantage of FLEXSCHE's flexibility to customize (program), before doing so,FLEXSCHE GP Advanced Optionsplease check the functions of each. Even if the desired function is not found at this time, please consult with FLEXSCHE Corporation first. If the requirements are highly general, it may be possible to offer them at a low cost as an advanced option with the premise of productization.
In industries such as shipbuilding and large equipment manufacturing, securing workspaces according to the shape of the manufactured items can be an important constraint. To plan feasible schedules in such industries,Workshop Planning Optionis indispensable. It enables high-precision planning that was not possible with conventional production schedulers.
To make appropriate planning with a production scheduler, it is necessary to clearly specify what, how many, and by when to produce. However, in make-to-stock production where demand itself is uncertain and fluctuating, even that can be difficult. In such situations,FLEXSCHE d-MPSdemonstrates its power. It visually monitors changes in supply and demand balance, predicts future surpluses and shortages, and accurately adjusts the required quantities for the factory while confirming feasibility through simulation.
If multiple planners need to update a single plan simultaneously,FLEXSCHE Communicatorplease use it. Set up a FLEXSCHE Communicator server and connect multiple FLEXSCHE Communicator clients to use it. The data on the server can be shared in real-time not only with planners but with all stakeholders.
Creating a good plan is important, but it is not the goal. The challenge of executing the plan still awaits.FLEXSCHE CarryOutBy using it to share information from the manufacturing site in real-time, you can overcome obstacles such as sudden troubles and temporal fluctuations to achieve smooth plan execution. Furthermore, the inputted operation result information is fed back into the next planning.
