JIT/JIS manufacturing is a key strength of SYMESTIC MES. Its modular and (re)-configurable structure allow the cost-effective management of challenges such as extremely small batch sizes and a large number of product variants. SYMESTIC MES supports all processes, from receipt of order data via EDI, to sequencing, to demand-driven production control, to shipment.
Powerful support for JIS production processes ensures that all parts are supplied to the OEM at the right time and in the right sequence. The emergency system ensures continued production even if central IT components fail.
To allow the exchange of production order data with auto industry players via EDI (electronic data interchange), SYMESTIC MES possesses a powerful interface that supports a wide variety of EDI formats and standards. Production orders are combined to create efficient batches.
Line balancing is a key feature of SYMESTIC MES, allowing you to safeguard efficient, cost-effective production at all times – even when customers request changes. Line balancing functionality enables your staff to modify your manufacturing activities on the fly, and at low cost.
SYMESTIC MES offers highly flexible modeling of the production and assembly process. You have total control and complete freedom to decide just how you produce what part across the entire value chain.
Standardized data flows, from the bottom up, lay firm foundations for your manufacturing activities. SYMESTIC MES offers powerful and proven means of seamlessly integrating all leading lower-level systems.
Your workers receive order- and product-related information in their local language at their workstation. The results of work instructions are monitored and documented, if necessary in a high degree of detail.
SYMESTIC MES monitors activities in real time, delivering actionable KPIs for production and shop-floor management. By means of easy-to-configure dashboards, you can provide accurate, relevant information tailored to the needs of the specific user.
SYMESTIC MES checks the EDI data sent by the OEM and monitors compliance with the defined sequence. It automatically recognizes out-of-sequence issues, allowing you take action in good time.
To allow you to take quick and preventive action in the event of problems, SYMESTIC MES automatically notifies you of critical production situations. Moreover, the built-in escalation mechanism ensures the timely involvement of key decision-makers.
Comprehensive, highly accurate documentation of the manufacturing process is a core capability of SYMESTIC MES. You can therefore be sure that you only supply parts that are 100% fault-free.
SYMESTIC MES archives all relevant production-related data, allowing you to meet all statutory and customer-specified documentation requirements. A dedicated history database ensures there is no excessive workload on the production-critical data storage system, and performs its tasks separately from compute-intensive analytics functions.
With JIS lines, there can sometimes be a need for re-work or there may be bad parts, with a serious negative impact on the JIT/JIS process. With the right strategy, and with the powerful support of SYMESTIC MES, you can rapidly and effectively resolve any potential disruptions.
