IRUM Producer: "APS helps us manage and plan tens of thousands of operations simultaneously, without delays or shortages"
Find out from the video all the benefits obtained by the IRUM company with the help of the APS system for advanced production planning and scheduling!
Benefits and advantages obtained by the manufacturer from Mures County – IRUM
- Grouping orders and items according to multiple planning criteria
- Definition and management of a wide range of properties of work centers (CNC, foundry, paint shop, etc.)
- Optimal management of a large number of configurations, according to the specifications of each machine
- Optimal coordination of resources, operations and orders and compliance with delivery times
- Possibility of creating alternative scenarios, through What-If analyses
- Ensuring a continuous flow of data and long-term visibility
- Immediate identification of possible deviations and application of corrective measures
- Improvement of logistics flows in the factory
- Rapid obtaining of detailed business reports
The machinery we manufacture is highly complex, with some products consisting of more than a thousand components, partly produced in-house and partly sourced from external suppliers. APS helps us manage and plan tens of thousands of operations simultaneously, ensuring that all required components reach the assembly line exactly when needed, without delays or shortages. Moreover, Senior Software’s advanced planning system enables us to efficiently manage the variability of work centers, each with very different capacity characteristics. Whether we are dealing with foundry operations, CNC machining centers, or assembly lines, APS ensures accurate and flexible planning.
IRUM's challenges before using Senior Software's APS solution
With a tradition of over 70 years in the manufacture of tractors and forestry equipment, IRUM began collaborating with Senior Software out of the desire to optimize manufacturing processes and manage multiple work centers efficiently and error-free.
Before partnering with Senior Software, the company was using a system that did not guarantee data accuracy, had numerous limitations and, last but not least, prevented real-time access to essential information regarding production flows. Thus, the IRUM manufacturer could not identify potential problems and deviations in advance.
After implementing the APS system, IRUM, a company with a turnover of approximately 28 million euros, streamlined its production flows, minimized downtime and obtained complete visibility over the entire process, having better control of resources and strictly respecting delivery times.
One aspect that I really appreciate about this system is the visualization mode, which is extremely intuitive and user-friendly. We have access to a wide range of graphs and reports, which we can generate directly from the planning tool. Every day we monitor operations that are late compared to the established deadlines, and this helps us quickly identify any problems. A particularly useful functionality is the merging of orders, which allows us to produce in a single batch several orders that would otherwise have been distributed over longer periods. This contributes to reducing change overs and optimizing the supply of raw materials. In addition, producing large batches helps to streamline the logistical flows in the factory
