Electronics Manufacturing with Asprova APS System

SUCCESS THROUGH PROCESS TACTING AND OPTIMAL ORDER SEQUENCING

AUTOMATIC SCHEDULING FOR COMPLETE PROCESS SYNCHRONIZATION

Electronics Manufacturing Processes range from specific processes that depend on different specifications types. In addition to varying numbers of processes (up to 15), a host of process routes need to be account and planned for. Many pre-assembly lines need to be synchronized so main components produced thereon arrive at the final-assembly processes at the same time.

Several parts are purchased, while many others are produced. Asprova plays the essential role in synchronizing all production processes and other factors for maximum efficiency in production flow while keeping minimum inventory stocks. To plan processes with varying process cycle times in optimal sequence, specialized software is required. Asprova schedules processes in SMD assembly, manual assembly, testing, and final-assembly automatically – thereby achieving shortest possible throughput times and minimal intermediate parts and finished parts inventories.

 

Typical planning and scheduling challenges that and APS help to fix in electronics industry are:

  • Shorter delivery times
  • Radical reduction in total production lead times using bottleneck oriented planning
  • Drastic reduction in semi-finished inventory
  • Optimizing the order processing sequence for individual processes.
  • Drastic Reduction of materials shortages (stock-outs)
  • Planning Alternative Routes and Preferred Routes and Resources based on components availability and functionalities
  • Consideration of Material Availability
  • Maximized Flexibility to reschedule based on resources and materials availability
  • Increased Resource Efficiency thanks to Optimized, Sequential Scheduling
  • Improved Transparency in Factory and Order Status
  • Greater Flexibility in the Case of Order Changes, Rush Orders, Machine Failure, etc.
  • Minimize line shutdowns for availability causes
  • Noticeable reduction in the time and effort needed for planning and scheduling
  • Increased Resource Efficiency thanks to Optimized, Sequential Scheduling
  • Minimized Production Throughput Times and Parts Inventories
  • Optimal Lot Splitting
  • Consideration of Various Item Specifications and Resource Capabilities
  • Improved Transparency in Factory and Order Status
  • Greater Flexibility in the Case of Order Changes, Rush Orders, Machine Failure, etc.
  • Substantially Reduced Planning Efforts
  • Minimize material shortages
  • Maximizing Delivery Reliability
  • Process Synchronization: Placement, Mounting, Pre-Assembly, Final-Assembly, Testing, etc.
  • Eliminating Waiting Times before Bottleneck Processes
  • Improved Transparency in Factory and Order Status
  • Improving Resource Productivity
  • Complete Process Synchronization and Resource Efficiency through Optimal, Sequential Planning
  • Drastic Reduction in Production Lead Time thanks to Bottleneck-Oriented Planning
  • Massively Reduced Intermediate Parts
