The Challenge
Novak M, a Slovenian family-owned medical equipment manufacturer, was experiencing frequent changes in production schedules as production quantities increased. The large amount of data engineers needed to manage across the supply chain made spreadsheets inadequate for production scheduling.
The Solution
Novak M implemented Opcenter Scheduling with support from Siemens partner Inea. The system enabled creating schedules and assigning every production operation to qualified workers on correct resources based on skills and availability, providing activity lists in advance for material preparation.
Results
Novak M can now respond to production changes 50% faster. New orders are added to the plan 30% faster. Workers order from subcontractors 40% faster and without errors. The system is resilient to market changes, unexpected production events, and planner absences.
Key Takeaways
- Production scheduling resilience is critical for handling frequent order changes
- Skill-based worker assignment optimizes resource utilization in complex manufacturing
- Faster response to changes is a competitive advantage for make-to-order manufacturers
