Manufacturing and Planning System is a MSF scheduling tool for planning and execution of manufacturing orders. Constraints such as technological sequences as well as optimized set-up times and production quantities are also incorporated. MSF Scheduling optimizes machine utilization, provides computer-based rescheduling due in case of changes in priority or others, and clearly displays the process execution. Thus, it ensures on-time and optimized production runs. MSF Manufacturing and Planning System are not only designed for single-part production, but also in serial production using non-interlinked equipment.

MSF Production dashboard shows all Production that can be monitored by way of dynamic real-time systems that collect and process the complete range of production-related data such as quantities, process parameters, and plant and machine status. In case of unacceptable deviations or discrepancies, corrective steps which may include MSF input, are automatically executed. Depending on the degree of automation, data can be directly transferred to subordinate systems or result in appropriate instructions to personnel (for example, setpoint changes, rejections, shutdowns).

MSF Manufacturing and Planning System has capability to use different scenarios for each factory in perspective of operations Production scheduling In multi-variant serial manufacturing, production equipment is usually completely interconnected. Production planning focuses on the entire serial production instead of individual machines. Bottlenecks are identified and resolved only during unit allocation. The cycle time is determined by the production step with the longest duration of stay at a working station. The most important aspect of MSF production scheduling for serial manufacturers is the correct sequencing of different product variants in order to accomplish as even as possible utilization of all working stations.

MSF Manufacturing Execution System (MES) solution makes machines, materials and products “smart” and connected for having the ability of  Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing and Digitalization. 

MSF MES has capabilities for data collection and aggregation, visualization of data, alerts and notifications, integration to enterprise systems, forms, dashboards, collaboration and data analytics.

MSF MES makes the production process more efficient and effective through the discipline it enforces. The system takes the workers to do things the right way. The end results are fewer errors and higher yields. For the manufacturer MSF collects quality data from the production while performing in-process serial registration and enforced routing ensuring quality processes are implemented. MSF gives the knowledge for the production status of every piece in any job order and has all process history data available.

MSF MES acts as a master layer from the bottom-up, meaning from the equipment interfaces and IoT to the layers above. MSF MES collects along the production cycle of bringing the detailed data to the cloud. Then MSF MES acts more strategically to top-down with computed data. It means that data comes from the shop-floor processes that determine whether the company makes a profit or not. MSF MES orchestrates the lower level equipment and devices in alignment with these value-adding processes. Since the ultimate goal of MSF is to guarantee productivity increases, this occurs through processes. Thus, manufacturers achieve consistent quality of products through quality of processes and quick introduction of new products through efficient processes across departments.

MSF gives manufacturers transparency in material and manufacturing together. Processes in material and production both need to be well integrated. MSF can do all these material and manufacturing transparency needs. 

MSF Warehouse Management is capable of overseeing all movement of material from planning to production which are needed to buy or make in shop floor, make notification to put in dedicated warehouses, to reserve to job order, transfers in time to machine to job process, then, can collect good parts in pallets or scraps to certain warehouses after production.

With the MSF Warehouse Management module, factories can increase their visibility and gain full control of the factory business processes. MSF integrated Manufacturing & Warehouse supply chain solutions fills the gaps between systems, equipment and workforce of a factory.

MSF gives transparency and planning safely by way of real-time tracking of materials through the entire flow chain in production. It can observe material buffers in operations, so forecast stock level for procurement, real-time updating production and material can be easily seen on the screen with bach, so it can be optimized for transportation or forklift trips.

MSF makes inventory control for production requirements which are minimum and best time for storage and best before expiration. MSF Warehouse Management Module makes order based material movement for the shift. During production MSF uses reorder plan logically algorithms for making assured high efficiency planning success.

When manufacturing companies are giving maintenance responsibility to the operations staff, making them responsible for their own workstation and tools. 

This chain of control and responsibility reduces response times, providing to help an approach of scheduled maintenance and proactive predictive maintenance. MSF Maintenance System module is designed to manage and provide a single interface to production operations with maintenance management functions. MSF gathers the shop floor information about the use of machines data providing use of the maintenance process. This information on the causes of machine stops are used to optimize the planning of maintenance activities and make it as compatible as possible with production activities. 

When the machine stops for break down for maintenance, MSF maintenance module is designed to notify machine status to planners or managers by making use of maintenance notifications by operators. At the same time, having all these information related to scheduled maintenance, MSF is enabling them to take appropriate action to minimize the impact on scheduled maintenance planning activities.

Regarding manufacturing planning activities, maintenance processed data allows the integration of the normal metrics managed by MSF like overall equipment effectiveness and downtime with additional information to provide a more complete and significant perspective on the production processes dynamics. This correlation provides the best action possible to take in a more timely and informed manner regarding the causes of the efficiency loss, thereby making available an valuable return on investment both  plant availability and product quality.

MSF Maintenance System Module consists of key activities to include inspection, notifications, corrective and preventive maintenance, repairs, and other measures in terms of maintaining machines healthy.

MSF Maintenance System Module performs these activities based on equipment master record via  management, to make plan of maintenance tasks, use  workflow notifications and work orders under maintenance order management.

MSF maintenance functions links to other modules starting from steps; notification, creation work order, creation of purchase request for work orders, after purchasing and parts receiving parts issues to Work Orders, approving of planned Work Order, scheduling and releasing Work Order, Work Order Execution and Closing a Work Order.
