Our client is the Production Manager of a leading automotive manufacturer. He is responsible for supervising, developing and leading the sheet metal production line.
As a rule of thumb, a typical automotive body is comprised of many sub-assemblies each made with different parts. Each part has a specific manufacturing process and cycle time. In this context, when it comes to production scheduling and sequencing at our client’s plant, he needs to simultaneously balance customer service, costs and utilization while respecting complex manufacturing constraints and rules.
Consequently, with all that in mind, he sought to find a tool that could find the optimal production sequence, amount and location of parts to achieve his daily production target, avoid bottleneck situations and deliver on time. He deployed the Cosmo Tech Supply Chain software solution.
Using Cosmo Tech Supply Chain, a realistic and exhaustive Prescriptive Simulation Twin of the whole plant and sheet metal production line was deployed. The solution was designed to:
Unlike competing digital twin platforms that rely on data exhaustivity and multiple digital twins organized in silos, our Prescriptive Simulation Twin embedded what was necessary to simulate our client’s supply chain.
Cosmo Tech Supply Chain enabled us to predict our production capacity and define the best production sequence to maximize it.
Thanks to Cosmo Tech Supply Chain’s sequencing module, the Production Manager succeeded in:
