When developing editorial office 1.3 was considered the experience accumulated at introduction and operation "1C:MES Operativnoye management of production" more than at 60 enterprises of various industries and forms of ownership, among which: LLC UK Tatneft Neftekhim, LLC LENPOLIGRAFMASH HOLDING, JSC NGO of Automatic Equipment of a Name of the Academician N.A. Semikhatov, LLC Kraski KVIL Plant, JSC Saratov Modular Plant, LLC FLIM, LLC Steel Products, LLC Emetal and others.

The updated edition redesigned the architecture of the solution and its interface, which made it possible to optimize the production planning process, as well as increase speed.

Schedule Production

Production Planning:

• Updated Capabilities for Production Planning - Planning at APS and MES Levels:
  • The APS level calculates the production schedule, which is the production stage execution queue. The production schedule allows you to evaluate the executability of the received production orders by the demand date, recalculate the built schedule when changes are made and deviations appear in production plans;
  • As a result of MES planning, operations are assigned specific work centers and operation times. In this case, the time of operations is set taking into account the optimization criteria and with the ability to specify the methods of loading work centers. MES planning allows production units to keep abreast of the current load of their equipment;

• Mechanisms for flexible prioritization of production orders have been developed, which allows the user to independently set order priorities as is customary in a particular enterprise;
• The order structure has been developed with the possibility of making adjustments to it (selection of the required BOM, roadmap and use of production backings);
• The basis for the formation of production stages is now orders or production starts, which significantly reduced the time for rescheduling production;
• Added a production stage adjustment mechanism with the ability to return to the original document before making changes;
• Other planning models have been developed, providing for two optimization criteria: the speed of fulfillment of orders and the cost of their fulfillment, as well as two methods of loading equipment: uniform loading or maximizing the load of a unit of equipment;
• Additional machine settings (load factor, load variant) have been developed, which affect production planning and the selection of specific equipment when calculating the production schedule depending on the planning model;
• Mechanisms have been developed to take into account the availability of goods and materials in production planning, which allows you to obtain information from accounting systems for ordering suppliers and plan the loading of work centers based on the availability of materials necessary for performing operations;
• The possibility of combining production orders into production starts with the option of consolidation of production stages has been added. Consolidation of stages is carried out in order to combine batches of parts, as a result of which the production process is cheapened due to reduction of equipment adjustment and consolidation of batches of parts;
• Mechanisms have been developed for recording the duration of transportation between work centers and between departments in production planning, which allows you to correctly plan production in a situation where operations are carried out in the same stage of production in different departments.

Production dispatch:

• Extended functionality for working with industrial terminals (information kiosks):

  Personnel are able to register operations directly at industrial terminals (if any);

  • The personnel, using the industrial terminal, gain operational access to the documentation required for the execution of the production task;
  • revised algorithms for generating, issuing and working with barcodes, added the possibility of using barcodes as a selection and search for a scanned document in the list. This allows the employee to reduce the time spent working with the program;
  • the worker in case of a problem when performing the task has the opportunity to use the industrial terminal to call the person responsible (master, technologist, repair services, etc.) to resolve the problem.

• An interface for generating production tasks according to the established parameters has been developed, which allows you to assign performers of operations for the required number of days in advance;
• Added functionality to track the status of production execution of process operations of the order
• Reports added: plan-factual analysis of the execution of operations and stages of production, planned and actual loading of work centers and types of work centers, remaining time of part processing, movement of workpieces, production task per period, schedule of reserved materials.

Manufacturing Operations Management

Updated Warehouse Accounting Subsystem:

• The creation of delivery notes allows you to formalize the internal movement of the manufactured products to the warehouse;
• We have developed the functionality of managing production stores, which allows you to reduce the need for the manufactured item with the help of unfinished or finished products stored in stock or reduce the production cycle when a production order is received.

The information on the structure of the enterprise, regulatory reference information about the product, incoming orders and production stages, contained in the 1C: ERP directories, can be transmitted for production planning to 1C: MES. Information on the results of the planning and the production activities performed can be transferred from 1C: MES to 1C: ERP to calculate the cost of production. The transfer of information between 1C: ERP and 1C: MES is carried out by exchange mechanisms built into 1C: MES.

Product integration with 1C: PDM 4 (PLM) allows you to use the regulatory product reference information generated in the PLM system (product composition and production route, material and labor rationing results) as input data for production planning in 1C: MES.

2018: "1C: MES Operational Production Management. Revision 1.3 "

On June 22, 2018, KT-Segment announced the release of 1C: MES Operational Production Management. Revision 1.3 "

Due to the need to expand the functionality for production control and increase the performance of the System, it became necessary to revise the architecture of the configuration solution. The received proposals for the previous edition made it possible to develop ‹ ‹ 1C: MES Operational production management. Revision 1.3 › ›, which became a logical continuation of the software product, explained the solution developer.

The presented edition redesigned the solution architecture and developed additional forms of information visualization for the purpose of increasing speed, flexibility of configuration and analysis of the planning and production management processes. All objects of the system have been developed from scratch or have undergone serious modernization.

Subsystems "1C: MES Operational Production Management. Revision 1.3 "

Regulatory background information. The subsystem stores all the basic information related to the item and its composition, production technology, production capacity structure, and other information that is the basis for planning. In the work centers, it became possible to further adjust the equipment (loading variant (asynchronous, synchronous), load factor, developed the structure of specification directories, task lists and process operations (ability to specify CODE, transfer lot size, adjustment variant). Intercompany management functionality has been added for subdivisions (planning/rescheduling only within the selected subdivision, not production as a whole).

Production orders. The subsystem is responsible for managing the portfolio of production orders, creating and adjusting the demand for production, determining the policy dates and parameters for the execution of orders. For the order, it is possible to use production gaps and specify the production schedule calculation option (direct, reverse). You have developed an order structure to replace a non-customizable production program. The order structure allows you to quickly adjust the production order (change BOM, routing, or demand for products and their components, only the related objects are adjusted, not the entire start-up or order).

Warehouse. This subsystem implements the functions of accounting for work in process, reserving free production backs for production orders. The subsystem was not in the previous edition.

Working with industrial terminals. The interface allows the industrial terminal to display production tasks for employees, design and technological documentation, analytical reports on performed operations, and call the necessary employees.

Planning. The system allows you to create roadmaps, quickly plan and reschedule the production schedule, taking into account the selected optimization criteria and the current availability of production resources. There are two levels of planning management - production schedule calculation in the context of roadmaps for the whole production (to estimate the executability of orders by specified policy dates, work with order priorities) and internal production planning taking into account planning models. In the previous edition, there was only the level of internal planning. The planning models and ways of loading equipment have been refined, additional visual capabilities have been developed for more convenient work with the Gantt diagram. The possibility of rescheduling operations that have not begun and the balance of the operation for which the production operation has not been created has been refined. Added the possibility of adjustments to production roadmaps and accounting for changes made when planning the production schedule (adding an operation, changing process codes).

Scheduling. This subsystem provides the possibility to control the production process up to each process operation, with the purpose of its operational correction, to achieve the specified plans, values, parameters of production of finished products. The subsystem solves the following tasks: managing production operations, conducting quality control, forming production tasks and issuing documents. Completely redesigned interfaces for the generation of production tasks, the management of production operations and the management of technical control. It became possible to automatically recalculate all the following operations related to the current one when uncorrectable failure is detected, the function of generating production tasks according to the specified conditions was added, the document "Production report per shift" was developed to reflect the output and costs of the initial components.
