MES vs. ERP/MRP -- Myths and Realities in Today's Electronics Manufacturing Environment
Manufacturers need new technologies, tools and processes that deliver advanced capabilities for production improvement and more effective materials management, traceability, process enforcement and quality control. Can these outcomes be achieved through ERP/MRP systems alone -- or does it require the specialized functionality that only a manufacturing execution system (MES) can provide?
Modern Materials Management and Lean Kitting: The New Assembly Environment
In light of today's electronics manufacturing realities, the ability to control and efficiently manage the inventory and flow of your materials -- across all phases of the production process -- is mission critical. But, in the new lean manufacturing environment, anything that's not directly related to production is considered waste. So, is kitting a waste? Can it be improved or even eliminated... and if so, how?
Optimized Dynamic Scheduling
With dynamic scheduling technology you can automate and optimize scheduling in order to fully maximize your production line output, while minimizing material costs, human intervention and headcount. Optel’s innovative optimized dynamic scheduling approach uses selected business rules and advanced mathematical algorithms, at three levels, to automatically optimize production -- and to dynamically re-optimize the schedule, as new work orders enter the production stream.
