Work order management, a challenge in conducting production operations

Manufacturing order management represents a priority challenge for factories in conducting their production operations. At the heart of this management lies the delicate balance between meeting delivery deadlines, maintaining product quality, and optimizing resource use. Demand fluctuations, variability in material delivery times, and the need to continuously adjust production plans make the task even more challenging. Effective manufacturing order management is not only crucial for meeting customer expectations in terms of speed and quality; it also plays a key role in reducing production costs and minimizing waste and downtime.

Your Challenges and Stakes

Integrate IT and Operations

Full visibility

Ensure quality and timing

How do you ensure that IT and OT systems work on shared and automatically updated data? By implementing a Production Order Management system you ensure a two-way link between management systems and assets enabling all stakeholders to have valid and up-to-date information. Reducing manual operations and removing paper ensures the reduction of errors and enables effective data collection. Collected data are then ready to be shared between systems and specialists to enable continuous improvment analysis.

A Production Order Management system provides full visibility into assets and processes. Navigating real-time asset operating status, production order progress flow and resource availability allows you to react faster to an unforeseen event. With a comprehensive and up-to-date view you can organize resource allocation based on up-to-date data and work on increasing production capcity and flexibility on a daily basis.

A company's reputation is closely related to its ability to meet delivery times and the quality of its products. A Production Order Management system supports the proper execution of operational steps and adherence to allocated times by automatically providing operators with production order sequences, operating instructions, and quality sampling plans. In addition, Production Order Management tracks all the operatons performed during the execution phase, enabling analysis of activities and continuous optimization of procedures.

Tracking & Genealogy

Production Order Management allows you to track all life stages of a production order from its planning at the management level to its execution at the machine level. Assets involved, work times, process parameters, operator actions, materials and batches used are tracked and linked together to meet regulations or ensure a path to continuous improvement.

Cost allocation

Production Order Management timely associates resource utilization during production stages. Consumption of raw and semi-finished materials, man hours, energy, or consumables can be allocated to each production order, allowing production processes to be kept under control and anomalies and inefficiencies to be identified.

Standard procedures

Associates each work step of a production order with information to guarantee quality and reduce errors: machine settings, work instructions, safety procedures or technical drawings. Supports operators by guiding them during the execution of each operation and ensures compliance with best practices and regulations.

Meeting market demands while optimizing available resources requires that each production step be prepared to the best of its ability. Planning resource utilization in terms of raw materials, personnel and machinery brings significant benefits in terms of increasing capacity and reducing waste. In addition, an organization of resources increases adherence to planned delivery times through more accurate lead time estimation and optimizes inventory management. In terms of sustainability, more efficient plans allow for lower energy and material consumption and greater operational flexibility.

People are a key factor within production environments. Providing timely information on the status of work allows for shorter reaction times and greater involvement of the workforce. To achieve the best return on investment from a digitalization project, it is therefore crucial to ensure that the collected information is always and everywhere available.

The manufacturing world increasingly needs flexible production processes in order to adapt to market demands: variable demand with peaks that are not easily predictable or new products that need to be brought to market quickly add up to a raw material availability that is not always optimal due to more volative supply chains. It is therefore critical to ensure that available resources are tracked and exploited to ensure their availability and best meet production schedules.

Industrial operations are caretterized by a very heterogeneous context of measures and actions to be tracked. Highly automated environments coexist with manual actions influenced by people's decisions. Describing and objectively measuring workflows is an unavoidable necessity in order to achieve more efficient and sustainable processes. Today's challenge focuses on the ability to analyze to get the right insights. Identifying the relationships between products, consumption, and production assets with respect to organizational choices can bring improvements that can go even beyond expectations.

Quality control is crucial for attaining a competitive edge. It ensures customer satisfaction by upholding products to established standards and expectations, thereby reducing operating costs through waste reduction and minimizing the necessity for rework.
Compliance with industry-specific regulations is another crucial aspect of quality control, as it ensures that products comply with legal and safety requirements, thereby avoiding potential penalties and litigation.
Finally, quality control plays a critical role in enterprise risk management, as it helps prevent defective product recalls, legal implications and damage to the company's reputation.
