Operations Management

Plant & Operations Management Platform - TXTMAKE

TXTMAKE helps manufacturing companies manage their production departments simply and effectively. It supports order management, multi-plant scheduling (including subcontractors) and shop-floor control.

TXTMAKE enables production processes to be smoother and quicker, improving the use of production assets and enhancing synchronization with subcontractors in order to meet delivery deadlines.

Functions

• Order Management: supports web product configuration and selection, online order entry, as well as order dating with ATP logic (Available-to-promise).
• Operations Planning & Scheduling: supports factory planning and scheduling. Based on customer orders, forecasts and planning policies (such as safety stock levels), it generates purchase and production orders (MRP calculation). Distinctive features of the solution are: simulation functions, finite and infinite capacity scheduling, optimization of production sequences, production progress monitoring.
• MES: complex manufacturing operations require specific solutions, that can also integrate MES solutions from the market, such as Siemens' SIMATIC IT platform.

Benefits

• Better use of production assets and cost reduction (reduced set-up and lead-times, higher saturation of resources);
• Reduction in stock levels and work-in-progress;
• Shorter planning times and quicker reactions to unforeseen events.

The value of integration

Plant & Operations Management (TXTMAKE) transforms the planning objectives determined by Demand Management & Forecasting (TXTDEMAND) and Planning & Optimization (TXTPLAN) into operational production orders. The planning functions of the TXTPERFORM suite are extended down to execution level.

Using TXTMAKE in synergy with TXT Supplier Relationship Management Platform (TXTCHAIN) will allow you to better control of subcontracted production, negotiate supply conditions in a collaborative environment, quickly transmit urgencies and priorities to suppliers and subcontractors and assess their performances over time.
