The key challenges for ceramics and glass manufacturers:
What to expect:
Inventory reduction
Better synchronization between operations shortens lead times, reducing WIP and allowing you to lower finished goods inventory through faster replenishment. The solution’s agility also enables rapid responses to demand changes, helping you avoid unnecessary stock.
Increased productivity
Scheduling rules will group similar items together, cutting costly setup times. Improved synchronization reduces wait times, directly adding value to the product while maximizing the utilization of your company’s assets.
Reduce delays
Enhanced visibility, faster scheduling, and more accurate planning help reduce delays and stockouts by identifying issues in advance. This allows you to run simulations, take preventive actions, and eliminate problems— all while ensuring product availability without compromising customer service.
More agility
Replanning is even more challenging than planning. A machine breakdown, rework on a component, or a change in demand for an item can create a cascading effect that requires rescheduling the entire plant. Responding quickly with a solid plan allows your team to focus on analysis and decision-making rather than just operational firefighting.
