Production Analysis

Achieve on-demand objectives with real-time production visibility

With manufacturers shifting from “demand push” to “demand pull” and “made to-order” production environments, Natural Synergies’ consultants are using QlikView to help companies gain the flexibility and real-time visibility needed to better track inventories across production stages, reduce scrap rates (improving yield), synchronize production flows, schedule crews to avoid line interruptions, and plan line changeovers to rapidly shift production for demand changes.

The best example of the type of comprehensive production analysis that Natural Synergies can provide is our Manufacturing Capacity Planning application with QlikView. This powerful application:

• Allows manufacturing managers and planners to immediately spot bottlenecks in the production process and develop an action plan for resolving capacity shortages.
• Provides a “Plant at a Glance” executive dashboard which enables managers to quickly assess capacity problems in various departments (over loaded and under loaded departments are highlighted with color-coded alerts).
• Provides a “Capacity Summary” screen to easily identify departments and work centers that require management attention.
• Enables planners to run instantaneous “what-if” scenarios, modifying the workload, adding and removing work orders, and simulating changes in capacity.
• Provides a “Material Availability” screen to highlight work orders that could experience shortages in raw materials.

For the above and other production applications, use QlikView to replace manually-intensive, error-prone spreadsheet processes and complex cube-based tools that require dependence on IT. Enable production to operate in real time to implement demand pull and made to order objectives.
