“Made-For-Plastic” scheduling makes all the difference

Where generic software fails, the CyFrame scheduling tools use critical plastic specific information such as plastic recipe composition, mold or die based tool specifications that may only relate to certain primary machines with essential line equipment constraints that affect processing speeds.

All these plastic processing variables are required to properly plan what raw material, labor, machines and critical line equipment mix you need to commit to a delivery date and then to fulfill the order on-time with the most profitable results.

With CyFrame you can entirely eliminate complex spreadsheets (that have limited access, few understand and even fewer can maintain) for the critical task of planning your production. The CyFrame scheduling capability even offers Pre-Planning capability such as when a new custom sales order is received so that employees can offer realistic delivery dates on the spot.

For finished products you must readily keep on hand (Restocking programs), Cyframe offers a work order management dashboard that will suggest how many units you must restock over the coming weeks and months to maintain an appropriate inventory based on a dynamic stock target and then issue those work orders with a simple click.

CyFrame provides a powerful Drag & Drop scheduling full screen dashboard along with other tools that manage all work order planning to address the unique needs of plastic processors, including:

• Conflict display for machines and line equipment required for Molds or Dies
• Dynamic MRP tracking “On the Fly” plastic recipe changes with warning icons
• Shows all related work orders, conflicts and material shortages with mouse-over capability
• Zoom between 1 day to 5 week calendar view

With CyFrame, accelerate operational performance initiatives such as Lean Mfg, Six Sigma, TPM, and other continuous improvement methods and track results with clear, easy to understand analytics that show OEE, downtime, waste etc.
