Production management services
Introduction:
Production management involves the planning, implementation, and control of industrial production processes to ensure smooth and efficient operations. These techniques are utilized across manufacturing and service industries. Simply put, production management is the process of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling activities within the production function.
Key Features:
– Real-time efficiency calculation
– Downtime analysis
– High-speed production counter
– Cloud-based monitoring (Application-based)
– Report generation
Functional Specification of PMS:
– Display Screen: Rotating display with a 12-second interval for each cell display. Line status indicators change color based on operational status.
– Authentication: Application access is authenticated with user credentials.
– Access Control: Admin users have exclusive access to modify reports, settings, configurations, and emails.
– Report Generation: Various types of reports are available, including daily, monthly, O.E.E., manpower, application, downtime, changeover, and hourly reports.
Production Planning & Execution:
– ManufApp Platform: Enables operators to record device production data on smart devices for real-time visibility.
– Downtime Tracking: Monitor machine utilization, observe cycle time and deviations, and receive alerts for machine outages.
– Maintenance Management: Schedule maintenance and track asset usage to reduce downtime.
– Order Tracking: Integrate with ERP systems to track orders through the shop floor.
– Quality Management: Provide real-time production quality records and closely monitor processes and materials.
