Pre-Planning

How to implement a new order?

Pre-planning in single-part manufacturing – Automatically calculate using orders

It's a fact: Pressures from deadlines and competition in the die manufacturing industry run high, and fast decisions are an important factor in winning orders. The advantage goes to those who can realistically include their current resources and capacities in the decision – at the click of a button. Production planners detect impending overloads in advance and can place external orders in time, thereby increasing returns. What if you could insert a spontaneous order and complete it on schedule? It's all possible – even in single-part manufacturing. ProLeiS MES lets you check the feasibility of order inquiries: ProLeiS quickly provides a reliable basis for decision-making using current data based on your company parameters. The project manager uses pre-planning tools to check the required resources, budget, outsourcing and capacity utilization. Just a few clicks produce graphical overviews that help you realistically manage inquiries. ProLeiS helps you do this. You can simulate how scheduling external manufacturing will affect your capacities. This yields an overview of the probable capacity utilization, enabling you to compare different scenarios. You can use this to determine whether external assignment is necessary – as a complete order or only for parts of individual work packages.

You can clearly see

• Whether you have to outsource manufacturing,
• Which parts are outsourced and
• Whether outsourcing fits in your planning.
