System for efficient planning and optimal placement of work processes

Based on the order information for the production of printed materials (printing, cutting, processing) at two factories, we have newly constructed a system to create processes to carry out the production process on time using an external cooperation plant.
Based on a combination of printing method, machine ability, and personnel skills, we have created a system to update the standard work time from the work performance. The construction function is calendar creation from order data, calendar output, actual management by process, standard work operation management, data creation for subcontracting cooperation factory request, processing request output, etc.

System for efficient planning and optimal placement of work processes

Background and Issues

The production managers at the two factories manually posted order data to EXCEL by process machine based on the order data, and created the work process. Due to the omission of the process registration and duplication, we were unable to respond to the delivery date accurately, and there were many delays in delivery. In addition, the total number of machines (printing, cutting, processing) to manage the process became a total number of ten, and the work efficiency of the person in charge was a problem.

Results obtained

By automatically creating planned data by process, there is no longer a leakage of the operation registration. In addition, as a result of the short-term work planning, it became possible to respond accurately, and the delay of delivery was greatly reduced.

In addition, the standard working time for each machine that was set in the sense of a skilled person came to be derived accurately from the actual results, and the play time between processes was reduced, and it contributed to the improvement of the machine utilization rate.
