Cloud based production scheduling solutions for process manufacturing

Visual Scheduling

 

Phenix Basic Edition

Visual Scheduling

 

Import and schedule orders to achieve due dates. Analyze using the color-coded timeline and order list and drag and drop to update the schedule.

Attribute-Based Changeover Model 

 

Configure changeover rules and run rates to model schedule performance and get feedback on the impact of schedule changes 

AI Scheduling

 

Phenix Professional Edition (Includes Basic Edition)

AI Driven Changeover Minimization

 

Use Phenix Genetic Algorithm AI to sequence orders to minimize changeover time and costs.

Inventory Optimization

 

See inventory levels while scheduling and use Phenix simulation capability to optimize inventory levels.  

Resources and Raw Materials

 

See the raw materials and resources needed for your schedule and be alerted to schedule problems due to resource conflicts.   

Aligned Product Wheel Scheduling

 

Phenix Enterprise Edition (Includes Professional Edition)

Cycle Time Optimization

 

Cycle times balance the cost of changeovers and inventory, and frequencies accommodate high and low volume products.   

Cellular Manufacturing

 

Products are grouped into families that run well together, assigned to production lines, and scheduled together. 

Production Rhythm

 

Cycle times are harmonized to ensure practical repetitive schedules well accepted by plant personnel.  

Business Alignment 

 

Schedules can be tuned to maximize throughput, minimize cost, or minimize inventory to align with business goals.   

Optional Add-ons

 

(Can be added to Professional and Enterprise Editions.)

Closed Loop Scheduling

 

Track actual schedule performance to react in real time to schedule problems and improve schedule performance.   

Capacity Workbench

 

Understand and address weekly capacity problems due to excessive demand, or raw material and resource constraints.   

Forecasting

 

Generate demand forecasts using forecasting algorithms selected to optimize forecast quality.
