HAVE EVERYTHING IN SIGHT WITH FEKOR
The FLS system FEKOR uses all information to create an optimal production plan according to the company goals. During production optimization, comparative calculations take place in the system which, in addition to personnel, plant, production resources and material costs, also take into account the additional costs of the worse alternative, set-up costs as well as warehousing and capital commitment costs.
Different items of the production orders in the plan are checked for dates, valuated using cost accounting and compared with other possible options. FEKOR Production Optimization selects the best sequence. Taking into account all resources and cost factors, your capacities are optimally used.
FEKOR considers production planning and materials management as a unit. This is absolutely necessary in order to take realistic requirements into account at all times. Planning must permanently exchange information with materials management on which materials are required and when. On the other hand, you can only schedule materials that are available at the time of production. A realistic and feasible production plan can only be achieved by such a uniform view.
However, FEKOR can also reassess the situation in the event of changes. If there are changes in the course of the week that require a rescheduling, the planning is optimized with FEKOR. Such events are, for example, new orders that have to be processed at short notice or the extension of existing orders. With FEKOR these unforeseen influences are quickly compensated. The changes are made by moving the bars for the individual orders at the FEKOR control station with the mouse. FEKOR then not only displays the new planning for the respective order, but also immediately the consequences it has for other orders. Moving an order can, for example, mean that another order cannot be completed on time. The system can calculate these consequences immediately.
FEKOR works so fast that the optimization can be carried out several times a day, because an optimization run only takes a few minutes. Even planning for 120 days into the future only takes about 10 minutes.
