Some industrial manufacturers, such as machine tool and prototype manufacturers, provide products and solutions that are engineered-to-order. Engineer-to-order production environments have requirements that are typically not met by solutions designed for other production environments.
The i2 solution is designed to provide the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects, optimizing throughput across constrained equipment, facilities, and human resources while improving order quoting and delivery reliability.
Capabilities of the i2 solution for engineer-to-order planning and scheduling can include:
- Ability to create constrained production plans and schedules
- Ability to manage multiple constraints including due dates, labor, and equipment
- Ability to create complex rules and data to automatically solver designed to create high-quality schedules using
- Collaborative planning and scheduling
- Visibility to constraint violations with manual and automatic resolution capabilities
- Ability to recognize multiple projects and allow for cross-project resource sharing and coordination
Benefits of the i2 solution for engineer-to-order planning and scheduling can include:
- Reduced inventory
- Increased production throughput (asset productivity)
- Increased labor productivity through improved planning
- Improved planner productivity through
