Click here to download the complete PDF.
A large, American-based CD company needed to improve machine and resource utilization at their manufacturing plant. This plant manufactures music CDs by molding and transferring music to the CDs from the master disc, all in one step. They are then printed according to customer requirements, and then go through a packaging unit before shipping.
The shop has a built-in molding capacity of over 500,000 discs. However, due to the complexity of operations and configurations of customer orders, the shop typically runs only 250,000 to 350,000 discs per day.
To maximize production, the company decided to revamp their Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) system, automate the shop floor, and add an advanced planning tool to schedule orders quickly, easily, and effectively. They needed a planning tool capable of communicating with the existing JDEdwards MRP system to pass on relevant schedule information, and the MES shop floor system to pass on scheduled output and receiving updates.
