Proficy Scheduler has revolutionized Fipros’ production process by optimizing setup and changeover times. They have achieved this by sequencing productions with similar routes consecutively, which significantly minimizes cleaning time, especially when productions share the same ingredients. Proficy Scheduler plays a crucial role in assessing these considerations, offering invaluable assistance during periods of high demand and full capacity. This streamlined approach ensures that Fipros can maintain efficient production flows even under pressure.

Proficy Scheduler enables Fipros to easily simulate the consequences of inserting a new order into the production schedule. This powerful capability allows Fipros to identify potential delays in other orders before they occur. If simulations indicate that an order may cause a delay, Fipros can proactively negotiate alternative delivery dates with customers. Alternatively, they can increase capacity by adding more hours for manpower and machines, ensuring that all orders are completed on time.

By focusing on streamlined setup and changeover processes and leveraging Proficy Scheduler’s simulation capabilities, Fipros ensures that their production remains efficient and responsive to customer demands. This approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also strengthens customer satisfaction by consistently meeting delivery deadlines.
