Manual Scheduling
We’re now going to focus on an international company which does Make-To-Stock (MTS) manufacturing. This company is known for supplying disks to aircraft engines. Like other companies, this one had problems in scheduling because of their manual approach. This often caused delay in production operations. They also had to respond to frequent order changes.
The company needed a high-speed production scheduling tool that can function well in a fast-paced production environment—and also promise results. They tried a lot of schedulers to solve this issue before, but among all the production schedulers they tried, there was one who could perform better than others.
It was Asprova.
Synchronizing Sales and Production Orders
According to the manager of this company’s production department, they chose this production scheduling software because it has large parameters that can be assigned by the user. “There are particular conditions and requirements here that are unique to us. Asprova’s flexibility fills the bill in that regard,” he adds.
The software helped the company synchronize their sales orders as well as their production orders. With Asprova, they were able to attain a uniform production planning and created precise production plans. Another noticeable achievement after the installation of Asprova is the automation of the previously manual scheduling operations.
