APRISO - JIS(Just-In-Sequence) #Implementation

Hello 

In this time, I would like to take a look at sequencing through APRISO.

First of all, I would like to see how the Object Model is structured and how to handle it. 

The data model is composed of information for sequence management. It provides to define a sequence queue and specify the order of items to be processed. In addition, it includes the management of sequence scheduling according to the record and pattern of each item's status or post-processing history.

Table

Description

SEQUENCE_QUEUE_DEFINITION

Describes the properties of a set of Sequence Queues

SEQUENCE_QUEUE

A sequenced queue of items to be processed

SEQUENCE_QUEUE_ITEM_GROUP

Groups items in a Sequence Queue

SEQUENCE_QUEUE_ITEM

An item in a Sequence Queue

TRANSACTION_HISTORY_SEQUENCE_Q

Records the history of items dequeued from the Sequence Queues

SEQUENCE_SCHEDULE

Sequence Schedule used to plan Sequences by repeating a pattern a number of times

SEQUENCE_SCHEDULE_DETAIL

One item in the repeatable pattern of a Sequence Schedule

And it will manipulate these objects through Business Components.

Business Components

Description

Maintenance BCs

Create and update Sequence Queues and all dependent objects

Transactional BCs

Enqueue, dequeue and peek items in a Sequence Queue

Exception BCs

Insert, delete, re-sequence the queue, resize groups, etc

Users can manage sequencing through the Sequencing Maintenance & Monitoring screens.

Additionally, how will the initial Sequence Planning be created? APRISO JIS includes a function to create a production sequence based on ERP or APS Data.  In the Sequence Planning screen, Sequencing that can satisfy Production Demand in an appropriate time frame is created.​​​​​​​

In conclusion, APRISO JIS has the following characteristics.

FEATURES

• Interface sequenced orders from ERP, APS
• Communicate sequence information to suppliers
• Overwrite sequences manually, as needed
• Achieve real-time visibility and control of order status across all sequenced operations
• Direct work instructions for all shop floor workers through receiving, manufacturing, and shipping
• Accomplish reverse racking, reverse loading, and other periodic sequencing reversals automatically

The following benefits can be obtained through the establishment of APRISO JIS

BENEFITS

• Eliminates idle raw materials, WIP, and finished goods inventory buffers to increase cash flow
• Reduces floor space and cycle times to optimize plant efficiency and improve return on assets
• Synchronizes internal manufacturing operations with external suppliers and customers to maximize On-Time Delivery (OTD), achieve critical customer KPIs, and avoid costly penalties
• Become demand driven by building to order to increase customer satisfaction and accelerate accounts receivable collections
• Improves overall product and process quality within highly complex manufacturing environments
• Supports greater product customization while simplifying production processes for improved customer satisfaction

Thank you.
