Component & Large Scale Assembly

Your Situation

You can't begin today without knowing exactly where yesterday left off.

Preparing for each morning's stand-up or sunrise production meeting includes an early morning walk of the shop floor to examine each lines' Work In Process and open non-conformances. Then, an analysis of scheduled shop orders, parts and human resources availability is documented. This preparation usually takes about and hour and a half.

Intercim's answer

Here's a different scenario: Each morning at 5:00 a.m., a Pertinence Suite automated report is generated listing the issues and resource status of all orders. The report is emailed to appropriate operations management and the discovery side of prep-work each day was virtually eliminated.

Your Situation

You just got the call for an expedited order…but for important customers, you'll figure out a way to get it done.

Not so easy. Where is the component in production…what's left to be done? Who can do the work and what is the impact to the rest of the shop floor? What has to be moved or postponed so you get this order sent over-night? Expediting "hot jobs" can take several man-hours to analyze and execute.

Intercim's answer

With the Pertinence Suite's real time production data, you can see instantly:

• The routing of what needs to be expedited
• Queues to those work areas
• Tasks currently being worked, work in the pipeline and the priority of those jobs

Armed with complete shop floor visibility and real time information, you can now make decisions about raising the priority of the expedited work--the raw materials and personnel required, optimal location to perform all or part of the work and the effect it will have on other scheduled operations.
