Resource Utilization Software Simplify the Scheduling Process
The MV2 Manufacturing Execution System (MES) makes the process of scheduling and communicating schedule requirements to production workers a very simple process. While ERP systems may have sophisticated tools to assess global considerations to conclude a production schedule, it is inevitable that supervisors will need to move work around to meet machine capacity concerns, human resource availability, or other considerations that are simply not known to planners or the planning system. MV2 Sequencing is intended to provide production supervisors an automated tool to prioritize jobs on a daily basis.
The MV2 Sequencing application has a simple user interface that allows supervisors to reorder jobs with drag and drop tools. Visibility into jobs that are already started and jobs that may not be able to be completed on time are identified through color coding which helps to highlight concerns. A snapshot of all work centers can be observed to hone in on problems before it is too late.
The MV2 Electronic Dispatch List presents an electronic list of work assignments to production workers that instantaneously shows the scheduling decisions concluded by supervisors. The top prioritized jobs will appear at the top of the list. Configurable options exist to limit the opportunity to pick anything other than the top job on the list, or even to restrict the view to only the next job that is assigned. The MV2 Dispatch tool integrates with the MV2 Shop Packet to make the most up to date mission critical production information available to production workers.
These are just a few of the management avenues MV2 can take to the next level for production managers. Contact us today to learn more how MV2 MES can specifically enhance your shop floor management operations
