2018

From December, 2017 to May, 2018 the Raytec company implemented the project on business process automation in production of refrigerating appliances in Elementum company.

Features of planning on production:

• Need of planning of difficult assemblies – up to 10 nesting levels
• Job order planning with need of tracking of terms of the order and priorities of accomplishment
• Frequent replanning of the production program
• Existence of the 2nd production sites coordinated among themselves working in a uniform cycle

Project Objective

Creation of automated information system allowing to exercise production management at all stages from receipt of the request of the Customer before implementation of finished goods.

Reduction of time of creation of the production schedule without increase in number of losses and time of adjustments.

Receiving the tool for rapid response to changes of requests of clients

Creation of the optimal schedule of production taking into account different restrictions on:

• to grouping on color in the painting camera,
• Capacity of the camera of painting
• To use of cards of cutting
• Minimization of adjustment and adherence to deadlines
• to the number of operators of Quality Department
• to observance of difficult build process
• complex groups of the interchangeable equipment.

Project Tasks

• Reduce reproduction planning time till 1 o'clock.
• Reduce an answer set-up time on terms of accomplishment of orders till 1 o'clock.
• Plan production taking into account the existing stocks, the available analogs of materials, future and forecast deliveries of materials and accounting of their delivery dates.
• Minimize quantity and time on readjustments of the equipment.
• Reduce costs due to optimal loading of the resources assuming parallel loading.
• Receive the mechanism of automatic creation of the schedule by the set criteria.
• Organize planning process of cutting and management of cutting of materials for production of metal working.
• Organize identification and traceability of semi-finished products and orders throughout a production cycle.
• Reduce time expenditure by reflection of transactions of the movement Inventories in an information system.
• Reduce a production cycle of products at the expense of the organization of technology of paperless production.
• Receive a single system of management and planning ERP+APS.

at the beginning of the project of normal was considered a situation when customer orders are also the director of production promises to execute everything in time. To check loading of the equipment taking into account rather long manufacturing techniques it was not real more in details. For an example, technology processes time consist of 20-25 consecutive transactions, in finished goods up to 10 nesting levels, independent work centers of-99 units. At the same time in full-time employment about 100 orders in different degree of readiness and as there was it as a result give about 30 thousand transactions on planning horizon three weeks. The production schedule was under construction only on the next couple of days on the basis of expert evaluation of experienced production workers. It was harder and harder to give an assessment on terms of accomplishment of each order from the client.

The implementation project of a system of digital control by production includes several interconnected blocks allowing to perform operational planning, production dispatching, and also identification of products and semi-finished products at any stage of product lifecycle:

• Operational planning of production using software products 1C:ERP and Preactor AS Ultimate.
• Preparation of programs of cutting for KRP machines and their automatic transfer on the machine.
• Equipment of production by information booths for implementation of technology of paperless production and an operational mark of the fact of execution of operations.
• The system of barcoding of semi-finished products for their identification at any stage of lifecycle.

Project Results

• Accounting of difficult assemblies with a large number of the entering component parts is implemented
• Integration for receiving initial data from in 1C is implemented: ERP2 on NSI, customer orders, a remaining balance and future deliveries. Unloading of data in 1C: ERP2 for filling in Route sheets of start times and completion of their accomplishment
• The possibility of determination of terms of accomplishment of the forecast customer order taking into account the current loading of production is implemented
