Kinetic addresses shop floor scheduling with a comprehensive and flexible approach, designed to optimize manufacturing operations and increase efficiency. Here's how Kinetic handles shop floor scheduling:
Scheduling Concepts: Kinetic incorporates advanced scheduling concepts that consider various factors such as resource availability, job priorities, and production constraints. This ensures that the scheduling is efficient and realistic, aligning with the shop floor's actual capabilities.
Global Scheduling: Kinetic's global scheduling feature allows for the planning and scheduling of jobs across multiple work centers and machines. It considers the process order and selection parameters to effectively allocate resources, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput.
Job Scheduling Board: The Job Scheduling Board in Kinetic provides a visual representation of the scheduling, allowing for easy understanding and management of job assignments and timelines. This interactive tool helps planners to quickly adjust schedules in response to changes or disruptions.
Resource Scheduling Board: Kinetic also features a Resource Scheduling Board, focusing on the allocation of various resources such as labor, equipment, and materials. This tool helps in ensuring that the right resources are available at the right time, enhancing the overall efficiency of the shop floor operations.
Multi-Resource Scheduling Board: For complex manufacturing environments that require coordination across multiple resources, Kinetic offers a Multi-Resource Scheduling Board. This enables comprehensive planning and scheduling by considering the interdependencies between different resources and processes.
By leveraging these features, Kinetic effectively streamlines shop floor scheduling, facilitating improved productivity, reduced lead times, and enhanced capacity utilization. The flexibility and comprehensiveness of Kinetic's scheduling tools make it well-suited to handle the dynamic and complex nature of modern manufacturing operations.
