More and more companies want to align their production activities as closely as possible to customer demand. Doing so limits Work-In-Process buffers and decreases Finished Goods inventory levels, thereby removing significant costs from your Supply Chain.

This improved responsiveness in Production also stands to make your customers, and your sales people and channel partners happier. But, the reality is that companies without real-time visibility into their Operations can’t be as responsive as those companies with this visibility, and schedules are thereby created and optimized based on large numbers of assumptions and estimations.

Most significantly, companies make assumptions about the availability of the required plant resources, as well as the production time required to deliver the volume ordered and other factors such as, waste or scrap rates, set-up or change-over times, asset utilization rates and so on.

There is tremendous value in knowing in real time exactly what’s being produced, when a specific production schedule was initiated, how much scrap and downtime is associated with each production run, and the overall efficiencies per product and per machine. With GE Fanuc Production Management Software, you can realize this value in your organization.

Also, GE Fanuc Production Management Software gives you the flexibility to evolve your systems yourself – using your own, in-plant personnel to maintain peak plant performance.
