Minimize Changeover Time with Our AI Scheduler

According to our OEE analysis of the pharmaceutical industry, an average producer dedicates around 30% of staff time to changeover activities. This unproductive time can be minimized by scheduling jobs from the same product family whenever possible. However, orchestrating hundreds of work orders while considering due times and changeover minimization in a near-optimal way is beyond human computational power.

This is where tools like our AI Scheduler make a difference. According to Boston Consulting Group's analysis, AI-powered scheduling for changeover reduction can increase daily production time for manufacturers by around 30 minutes. Additionally, scheduling tasks with AI takes half the time of manual scheduling, thus alleviating the labor shortage faced by manufacturers.

SQCDP Board: Enhance Your Factory’s Management in 2024

The SQCDP framework, which stands for Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery, and People, is a lean manufacturing practice used to monitor and improve manufacturing KPIs. Traditionally tracked with paper forms or whiteboards, these non-digital methods limit visibility and accountability, making it hard for employees to identify and resolve issues quickly. This often results in unnoticed bottlenecks and root causes, causing significant losses.

Digital SQCDP boards solve these problems by providing a digital interface for issue detection and action tracking. They simplify factory management, enabling better oversight and faster response times. Read our article on Digital SQCDP Boards to explore their interface, benefits, and real-life use cases.
