MPM

MPM is a crucial element of the management concept product lifecycle (PLM), being a link between the systems of design (CAD) and schedule systems of resources of the enterprise (ERP). Planning of production workshops, technology processes (CAPP), programming of CNC machines are the MPM components. The MPM system closely interacts with product data management systems (PDM), enterprise resource planning and the automated control system for production processes.

The place in IT infrastructure a predpritiya

MRM-solutions allow the enterprises to create models of technology processes and in the subsequent to subject them to the analysis. Integrating management tools knowledge and instruments of process optimization of assembly in the general open environment, the MRM systems provide reduction of term of preparation of production and its reaching design capacity and also achievement of bigger flexibility when entering into the concept of a product of changes. Packets of software applications of MRM-systems usually solve problems of optimization of assembly sequence; coordination of the movement of the equipment, calculation of performance and utilization coefficient of assembly lines; balancing of loading of lines and analysis of production costs. As a result of their work the technology process containing a complete description of production, assembly, tests and packaging of a product is provided. Such description of technical process acts as a basis for joint work of technologists, production, suppliers and subcontractors.

Scheme of work of a MRM-system

MRM-solutions allow to define, how exactly the product should be made. They act as a link between the systems of design design which are responsible for object of production and the production management systems defining the place and time of production.

Effect of implementation

For the purpose of improving competitiveness of a product of the enterprise are forced to reduce terms of its production, pursuing at the same time a number of the collateral aims, for example, such as preserving of the quality level. The software allowing producers to use and optimize the available resources and to increase integration of production process with all stages of preparation of production not only reduces product output terms by the market, but also gives the chance to manage the beginning of production, allowing to accelerate or delay it in case of need changes in construction. MRM-systems provide information support of lifecycle of technology process from the beginning of development before product output. Integrating in the uniform virtual enterprise of all participants – from designers and technologists to shop personnel and suppliers – production process, such systems help to develop the optimal strategies of production corresponding to business plans of the company. Besides, such solutions allow to carry out monitoring of different alternatives of design and technological project solutions, to manage resources, to optimize performance of lines, to use limited resources for release of different executions of a product, to calculate times of cycles, to carry out changes and to analyze costs at each stage of preparation of production.

Tasks

MRM-systems within production of different products depending on a number of factors solve the following problems:

• methodologies of management of production preparation that provides to users a unified environment of management of design-technology data on a product, processes and resources for all lifecycle
• modeling of technology processes and production lines by means of a full range of the integrated tools
• managements of transactions, resources, options of execution of a product and changes

automatic creation of reports

• visualization of technology information
• general analysis of the current and complete processes
• strategy developments of production and permanent introduction in it of changes if that is required by a situation.
• integration into engineering applications and enterprise information systems

Advantages of implementation

• reduction of terms of preparation of production of new products
• reduction of terms of commissioning and exit of production on project * power
• production management optimization
• cost reduction
• quality improvement of products and production processes
• ensuring effective joint work of designers, technologists and shop personnel
