Tectura Process Manufacturing - Features
FLEXIBLE AND PRECISE PRODUCTION CONTROL
Production Structures: Tectura Process Manufacturing offers extensive functions for configuring production structures, formulations, part lists and work schedules. All product details are registered in a view in accordance with the selected manufacturing technique. Production variants can also be created in accordance with required batch size and packaging types.
Recipes and Part Lists: Recipe parameters can be saved as percentages or fractions. Main recipes with additives are re-calculated automatically. A use of part lists, e.g. for filling and packaging processes is also possible in conjunction with recipes. This provides a complete overview of production processes at one glance.
Work Schedule: Every work cycle can be assigned the necessary operations involving raw materials, quality tests and tools. Throughput and setup times can be set in the system independently of work schedules. This also applies to fixed production rate times like those for mixers and dryers.
Sequencing: Taking into account freely definable planning parameters, the integrated sequencer can be used to minimise setup times while optimising utilisation and transparency of production processes.
Material Inventory Checks: During scheduling and sequencing, you can quickly check whether a particular material is in stock and which measures, if any, are required.
Staff Planning: In addition to organising machines, tools and raw materials, it is also necessary to assign staff possessing appropriate qualifications to operate the machines and tools. Already during creation of a production order, Tectura process-manufacturing module compares staff requirements with shift competencies.
Detailed Plans and Charts: Rough planning is followed by fine-tuning. A variety of overviews help you to identify problems in advance and enforce counter-measures. The planning chart is a matrix providing an overview of all production orders in terms of machines and times drill down functions permit all the required details to be extracted quickly out of the matrix. An overview of production departments permitting drilling down to individual machines per day, week or month provides the required perspective of utilisation levels in terms of percent, hours or free capacities. An overview of setup times indicates the number of necessary setup staff.
BATCH MANAGEMENT FROM PURCHASE TO DELIVERY
Batch Management: Tectura Process Manufacturing module ensures continuous batch management and automatic batch numbering. A central information window permits navigation throughout the system and branching to any required individual document: The batch tracing mechanism provides an overview of the production and supply chain. It permits an immediate ascertainment of batch recipients as well as production raw materials and their suppliers.
Container Structure, Fillings and Basic Products: Several product structures can be displayed in one or across more articles. In addition, filling and re-filling orders can be created automatically or relayed to the responsible departments. The container management section permits an administration of batches down to individual units and even fractions thereof. Batches and containers can be released, barred or assigned another pre-defined status on an individual basis.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT RANGING FROM ‘SIMPLE’ TO ‘COMPLEX’
Available in several extension stages, the quality management system forming part of Tectura Process Manufacturing permits early identification of faults and deficiencies to assure delivery of perfect products.
