Softera Balancer

Production Management Software Solution developed according to the Theory of Constraints (TOC) based Production Planning, Scheduling and Shopfloor Management methodology reduces drastically Inventory and Lost Sales; improves significantly Productivity of processes, reduces Customer Order processing time, improves Due Date performance.

Customer satisfaction achieved allows Companies to increase revenue and improve bottom-line results (profit). Real-time flow and resource management using appropriate reports and TOC methodology provide an excellent tool for improving Production performance compared to the other Production Planning, Scheduling and Shopfloor Management software tools. Softera Balancer software solution could be also configured to support the LEAN.

But what happens in production?

The common aims for the production managers are:

• to ensure sufficient output to satisfy market demand on time;
• to ensure low level of operating expenses (including labor cost, WIP).
  
  

Every top manager, manager of department and foreman knows these aims, and try to fulfil them because they want to be good managers.

According to the widely used operational measurements like units per hour, tons per shift etc., managers/ supervisors evaluate their work in those terms and try to organize departmental work according to those operational measurements, which leads to:

• high in process inventories;
• less setups;
• pull ahead orders that enable increasing batch size;
• produce fast items at the expense of the slow ones;
• “steal” raw materials of other production orders
• delays.

Such a kind of local optimum approach causes lot of problems and production is far from economic efficiency and maximum production plant output.

The most suitable Production Processes for implementing the Softera Balancer software module are job shop, batch and mass productions in addition to custom manufacturing. Processing and flow productions should be analyzed before implementation.

Food and Beverage, Furniture, Textile and Apparel, Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, Construction materials, Machinery and Equipment, (Consumer) Electronics Industries as well as any type of assembly plants, Print houses and Metal Productions could be only a part of examples of production sectors suitable for implementation of Softera Balancer.
