The machinery, tool and material management process includes personnel assignment to specific machines and material. Personnel should be assigned based on their competencies. When a production order is created, the program compares the personnel requirement with competencies of selected employees working on the appropriate shift.
[/expand]

[expand title=”more…” tag=”span” trigclass=”noarrow”]The programs enables the user to create detailed schedules based on preliminary planning. Using the overviews, it is possible to identify all bottlenecks and initiate preventive actions. The planning worksheet is a matrix that displays the production order overview with machinery used and lead times. Using the drill-down function, it is possible to display all information on production orders from the overview. From another overview, i.e. the production department overview, it is possible to view machine overload per day, week or year as percentage or hourly values or as unused capacity. The overview of setup times shows the number of employees required for the setup process.[/expand]

[expand title=”more…” tag=”span” trigclass=”noarrow”]Beside the production planning functionality, this business solution includes customisable worksheet templates. The user can also define which values are to be modified and which cost rates – percentage or fixed, can be used in calculations by default[/expand]

Planning setup can be customised by the user depending on their needs.

Using the integrated sequencer tool, the user can reduce the lead time, thus optimising the usage of the production process and standardising the process structure. It is possible to view linked orders that are executed within various processes or departments, which enables the identification of problems such as improper material or device used in the process. Such controlling mechanisms guarantee optimal production scheduling for specific due dates, decreasing inventory levels at the same time. CCIProcess Manufacturing (Process Manufacturing) interfaces with external visual software.

[expand title=”more…” tag=”span” trigclass=”noarrow”]Setup orders are created directly from setup matrix which stores information on product group changes, products and tools. It is possible to assign setup orders to production orders. As all production processes can be freely defined, it is possible to reassign, identify or group selected production orders. Similarly, in the case of production processes, the setup time comparison functionality is available for specific tools.[/expand]

[expand title=”more…” tag=”span” trigclass=”noarrow”]When planning sequences and schedules, the user can view availability data for selected materials. The program also displays action prompts if replenishment is needed.[/expand]

[expand title=”more…” tag=”span” trigclass=”noarrow”]CCIProcess Manufacturing (Process manufacturing) includes a variety of functions, formulas, part lists and job schedules. Depending on the manufacturing technology, the system requires specific data to be entered. It is possible to create item variants based on lot sizes and packaging types.[/expand]

[expand title=”more…” tag=”span” trigclass=”noarrow”]Recipe settings can be defined as percentage or decimal values. If a new component is added to a recipe, the program automatically recalculates all relevant values. In addition to recipes, part lists can be used to manage packaging or filling processes. Such tools ensure comprehensive insight into the production process.[/expand]

[expand title=”more…” tag=”span” trigclass=”noarrow”]Each cycle can be created by assigning specific operations that use selected raw materials and tools. The lead and setup times can be defined within the application regardless of the production schedule. It applies to fixed lead times which are usually defined e.g. for stirrers and dryers.[/expand]

The CCIQuality Management and CC I Vendor Rating solutions have been designed based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. They focus on monitoring all quality parameters in real time.

Quality management improves the control of production processes and optimises the technology using reliable production data as a basis. Additionally, CCIQuality Management reduces costs and validates the compliance of products with current standards. The quality management tools ensure compliance with quality standards. Production managers can exercise better control over the production process and operations..

Vendor rating and vendor approval processes are repeatable. The rating process involves delivery tracking and analysis. With CC|Vendor Rating, executives have an ongoing access to information and rating for vendors of specific products, materials and services.

Vendor monitoring ensures compliance with high quality standards and requirements. Vendor rating is based on points that are granted based on predefined criteria. It includes both “soft” and “hard” requirements the priority of which can be set up per vendor. The “hard” criteria encompass product quality, the quantity of delivered products (deviations from the ordered quantity) and time deviations from the accepted schedule. The “soft” criteria are audit results, self-evaluation and visit reports.

Vendor validation and control are increasingly important for selecting the appropriate vendor. Additionally, these processes reduce the risk of production delays (due to overdue delivery, shortages or bad quality of the end product produced from components.) Consequently, by supporting you in choosing the best vendors, vendor ratings contribute to positive relations with end users.

Vendor verification means detailed vendor evaluation which enables you to eliminate the risk that products from your vendors are made of illegally obtained materials e.g. wood.
The valuation process streamlines communication with your vendor and improves vendor competencies on how to support your processes with required diligence.
