PRODUCTION EXECUTION

TRANSFORMING PRODUCTS

Manufacturing is about transforming raw materials into other products, typically requiring many business processes to manage the transformation processes in a consistent and efficient manner.

This involves the many functions across the business. Ideally there should be a single point of entry for all data and activity is based off comprehensive product and process definitions. This enables activity to be generated efficiently and accurately.

DRIVING EFFICIENCY

Business functions will vary widely and typically range from planning of resources and materials, production scheduling, shop floor management, warehousing, and in-factory automation control systems.

To acheive efficient managment of these various activities, integration between the processes is critical. Integration enables a single point of entry for all data and a single version of the truth from the back office to the factory floor and warehouse.

OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT.

To effectively manage operations, systems should cover a wide range of functions, including the financials and compliance areas. For example, financial analysis should extend out into operations in real time and compliance (e.g. Food Safety, Health & Safety, Risk Managment etc) should be “in line” to gain the most benefit. If this can be acheived, the operators have really useful tools for effective decision making to grow the business.

CONNECTED BUSINESS

This can be daunting when considered in a comprehensive manner, however the key for a medium sized manufacturing business it to take a brick by brick approach and to ensure that any block put in place, can be built on to achieve the completed structure, and when needed can be restructured to allow extended functionality

CONNECTED FACTORY

Now that it is much easier to establish machine connections (commonly referred to as IIOT – Industrial Internet of Things), technology has enabled this integration to extend from the back office out to automation within the factory. Integration at this level can provide a platform for extensive gains in efficiency.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT.

Food Safety, Health & Safety, and Risk Management are only some of the subject areas that food manufacturers needs to effectively manage in a pressured environment.

Integrating the principles of Quality Management into day to day operations is key to successfully and continuously improving efficiency while growing.
