New Broner Production Scheduler enhancements help improve on-time delivery and increase productivity

Written by Ksenia Mustafina

Broner Metals Solutions, the world’s leading provider of supply chain planning, scheduling and manufacturing execution systems, specifically for the Metals Industry, has developed new enhancements for its existing Production Scheduler solution. New enhancements were developed in order to respond to opportunities identified in the process of implementing Production Scheduler at one of the Broner’s customer sites and they will further improve scheduling capabilities of the module, with some of the new functions being:

‘Feeder groups’, which enables the use of non-first choice material to fill gaps in the schedule
‘Minimum batching’, which allows the specification of a rule which will try to complete a minimum batch of material limited by user-defined characteristics once started, and highlight a sharing violation if that’s not possible
‘Violation limits’, which enables the definition of violations
‘Conserve and Consume’ functionality, which allows conservation of “rare” materials across round, preventing immediate use of a first-choice material
Improved scheduling information around specific areas of production.

All of these functions will contribute to better schedule adherence, reduced production costs, improved productivity and better quality of end product. New improvements will later be incorporated into all future versions of Production Scheduler ensuring that all customers can benefit from improved accuracy and consistency of schedules.
