Efficient Production with production planning and controlling (PPC)

Control material flows, avoid bottlenecks: production planning and controlling (PPC) for the plastics industry

The guarantee for highest quality standards and an absolute delivery schedule adherence is the key to a long-lasting market success for plastics manufacturers. At the same time, however, the production should be as cost-efficient as possible. FOSS offers unique functions for an efficient planning and controlling of the production processes. In interaction with detailed entries and evaluations of the utilization data of plants and machines and the employment data of human resources (PDC, MDL, PDA), with the efficient FOSS planning functions and the Graphic Planning Table 2008, FOSS makes an entire MES (Manufacturing Execution System) - a highly-integrated production planning and control system.

Optimale Transparenz in der Produktion mit der grafischen Plantafel

The Graphic Planning Table 2008 gives you a clear reflection of the complete production with real-time capability. It also includes machine capacities and human resources on multiple monitors, if required. Operational sequences can be rescheduled with drag & drop or they can be shifted to different capacities. The flexible configuration editor enables a simple and fast customization to individual production processes.

For the flexible integration of machines, FOSS cooperates with the MDL solutions PROEfficient, ProSeS and T.I.G. Prozessleittechnik. Of course, FOSS supports multi-machine operations and the concurrent production of parts from multi-form tools with one single production order (joint-product production).
