  • Fast production scheduling

    PSIasm makes sure that your schedule always strictly follows provided technology. This means that:

    • assignment of resources,
    • operation sequences (predecessor/successor relations),
    • operation durations,
    • resource efficiencies,
    • resource calendars

    …among others, are correctly represented by your schedule.
    Planners can always make changes to the incoming data (by, for instance, adding new resource possibility), but the schedule remains feasible technology-wise at all times.
    This means that the shop floor will always receive tasks in the correct, possible to execute sequence.

    This also takes load off planners who can focus on optimization of other goals.

  • Realign

    Realign of schedule is a powerful feature of PSIasm which deals with many typical tasks faced by the planners:

    • Closing gaps in the schedule (planned downtime) where possible
    • Removing Directive Resources overloads
  • Multi-dimensional scheduling algorithms taking care of the secondary resources’ capacity constraints

    PSIasm allows planners to automatically schedule any set of operations or orders. Thanks to open logic of the algorithms, it is possible to analyze, adjust and improve them according to your current scheduling strategy.
    In particular, it is possible to create schedules using multiple constrains dimensions, where Di-rective resources provide the base constrain. This allows to create schedules constrained by, among others:

    • Capacity of material resources or their particular type (i.e. key materials or sub-components)
    • Capacity of operators (provided reliable expected capacity is delivered)
    • Capacity of forms, tooling, etc.

    Alternative resources are always automatically taken into consideration, and with the default scheduling mode, their capacity will be equally utilized in respect to individual possibilities, calendars, capacities and performances. Scheduling algorithms can be applied automatically to new data imported from the ERP system. Complex and powerful scenario comparison tools can be used to analyze schedules created us-ing different approaches. Schedules created using our algorithms always comply with provided technology.

  • Create a precise representation of you production capabilities

    The list of directive resources (machines, manufacturing lines, workstations) can be either created within PSIasm using Production Data Preparation module or imported from an external source, using PSIintegration. Each resource can have an assigned capacity, which can be changed over time. At any time the planner has access to information about planned downtime and resource overload.

  • Define your exact production capacities

    PSIasm is capable of importing work calendar from any external source, which are mapped to whole plants, areas or individual resources. Data model for time management includes cyclical shift patters which can be assigned to resources and overwritten for specified time periods.
    Planner can always introduce manual calendar entries into the schedule to signalize other planned non-productive tasks, maintenance, or additional shifts and overtime.

  • Manage performance from a resource level

    For every directive resource a separate performance curve can be maintained. Changes to the curve can be introduced easily, using drag-and-drop on the Gantt chart, or as a precise infor-mation delivered by i.e. external data source.
    Performance curves can be used to model temporary differences between expected efficiencies of individual machines within a group. These changes can be caused by a number of reasons, such as:

    • Maintenance constrains
    • New hires, on-the-job training
    • Concurrent activities from i.e. Quality Control or New Products
  • Advanced scheduling tools

    PSIasm gives access to a number of scheduling tools, such as auto-join/auto-split, multi-dimensional scheduling algorithms or fully customizable screen layouts. It also comes equipped with a business process modeling component, which allows to precisely model schedule re-sponse to critical events.

  • Monitoring center for global analysis

    Thanks to the monitoring center you can be informed of any event or dangerous situation within your production. Information about delays, resource overload, breakdown or the risk of down-time can be delivered in a form of report or event list to the planner, or directly to the mailbox of responsible person.

  • Understanding of planned logistics of material resources

    Thanks to integrated Capacity Curve charts you’ll be able to perform detailed analysis of planned consumption and production (or deliveries) of any material or goods. This can be used to analyze risk of downtime caused by delayed planned delivery or misalignment in manu-facturing of sub-components against final assembly.
