Optima Solver-Production Scheduling Tool

Example

For a beverage manufacturing company with multiple bottling lines, Optima Solver can organize production runs to minimize changeover times between different beverage types, ensuring that similar products are grouped together.

Scenario

This function is crucial when the company needs to switch production from one type of beverage to another. By minimizing the changeover time, Optima Solver helps maintain a high level of operational efficiency, reducing production costs.

Example

In a textile factory with several weaving and dyeing machines, Optima Solver can schedule maintenance times in the production plan without disrupting the overall production flow.

Scenario

This is applied by identifying optimal maintenance windows that align with low-demand periods or when alternative machines can take over the production load, ensuring that the factory meets its production targets without unnecessary delays.

Example

A pharmaceutical company needs to plan the production of various drugs, each with different lot sizes and processing times. Optima Solver enables the company to sequence the production lots in a manner that optimizes the use of each machine, taking into account cleaning and setup times between different drug productions.

Scenario

This function supports the company in efficiently planning the production sequence, so that high-priority drugs are produced first, while also ensuring that machine setup and cleaning times are minimized, thus maintaining high productivity levels.
