Manufacturing Operations Management

Factova RTD

A logistics operations solution that requests product moves between process equipment and assigns destinations

WHY

Why Is It Needed?

With many lots waiting for work, it is hard to decide which lot to send to which equipment, and production and logistics efficiency varies with individual know-how and skill. As output grows, manual move instructions also increase, creating the need for a system-based solution that selects the lots to move and their destinations.

Factova RTD optimizes move targets and destinations in real time on standard dispatching rules that reflect production and logistics operating conditions, while predicting upcoming logistics changes. Going beyond simple move instructions, it manages the plant's logistics flow one step ahead.

KEY CAPABILITIES

Key Capabilities

01 Real-Time Move Target and Destination Assignment
The system decides in real time which waiting lots to move and which equipment to send them to
02 Purpose-Based Dispatching Rules
Apply rules that fit operating goals, such as FIFO, shortest processing time first (SPT), earliest due date first (EDD), and equipment utilization maximization (Move Maximize)
03 Rule-Based Management of Logistics Conditions
Define complex logistics movements and work conditions on the shop floor as rules for systematic management on consistent criteria
04 Workflow-Based Rule Design
Build rules in an easy-to-understand workflow format for visibility into operating logic
