Demo model used for showing potential customers examples of how scheduling issues can be overcome.

The model is designed to replicate scheduling at a fictitious food factory. Orders are represented by a single operation, but some have a BoM attached so that operation dependencies on both production and supply can can be created. Demand and stock are also available so that supply and dispatch information can be visualised also. Constraints are included to show how labour can be applied to some parts of the process.

Sequence dependant changeovers and Ovens are also represented.

The model is designed to replicate scheduling at a fictitious machine building factory. Orders are represented by multiple operations, and have a BoM attached so that operations have dependencies on other production orders.

There are no other constraints.

The model is designed to replicate scheduling at a fictitious factory. Orders are represented by single operations, and have a BoM attached but the material requirement doesn’t impact the result as there is enough material to satisfy all the orders.

The model is setup as follows:

• 10 resources
• Secondary constrain maximum value of 45 people at any one time
• 16 hours working day, 5 days a week
• 29 different Part Codes
• Multiple routing options for each operation
• Variable labour per each operation
• Sequence dependent changeovers based on product attribute
• All orders have the same due date

The model is designed that there is no way that everything can be done without something being late if the secondary constrain isn’t broken by both Opcenter and Evo.
