Understanding the Current Situation and Setting Goals

First, let us analyze the current situation and the goals. You can further clarify them with the help of filling out the “Diagnostic sheet”.

Asprova1

Here is a sample of the Diagnostic sheet – which covers all pertinent information to assess whether Asprova will be suitable for you or not.

Asprova2

First step is to specify your tasks and goals. When setting up the concrete values and priorities, make sure that the goals are not ambiguous.

Asprova3

In cases with ambiguous goals, it will become difficult to define concrete requirements later.
As a result, the system will not operate properly and the benefits of implementation may not be seen.

Specify a production scheduling method, and define the scheduling objectives and describe problems causing bottle-necks.

Asprova4

Roughly enumerate all production processes to cover all the operations and the scheduling objectives.

Asprova5

Consider the proper units for the production processes when creating the prototype.

In addition, provide the relevant information about the working shifts and the manufacturing equipment capacities, etc.

Asprova6

Consider the orders to be handled, the statuses of the operations and the inventory status.

Asprova7

Asprova8

Finally, check the status of the production management system.

Asprova9

All the data filled in the Diagnostic Sheet will be used in the next step for scoping
