We Support Enhanced Human Interaction And Management Of The Plan. ie. Decision Support Rather Than 'Machine Override

These insights enable the manufacturing units to identify the lagging points of the existing processing model and take proactive steps to obliterate the same. The interactive visual display of all activities in the plant is projected as a forward schedule on a finite capacity basis. This enables close management of all confirmed orders, coordination of raw materials, labor and tools at the right place and time, and helps to monitor on-schedule completion of Due dates. With a ‘drag and drop’ user interface, the software is intuitive and simple to use. The firm also renders an ‘adaptable calendar management screen’ that pictures the unplanned absences and abets in planning workforce more prominently.

Amidst growing demand, manufacturing units often find it arduous to forecast a realistic plant schedule in the plant. To address this, MORE Manufacturing has introduced a module called ‘Shopfloor Feedback’ that provides complete visibility of work tasks through electronic access that monitors the change in the spectrum of workflow and performs quality tests in real time. The solution can be deployed either on PC, iPad, Android device or on the machine interface to complete production quantity feedback loop. Among other features of the module, real-time bar-coding and scanning capability help the unit with accurate in-line processing for traceability/IoT tracking.

Illustrating the firm’s unique approach towards its customers, Watters iterates the case of one of the clients that needed an upgrade to notch up their existing legacy system which was stuck with poor visibility of order loadings and ineffective scheduling affecting their on-time delivery performance and customer satisfaction. The manual process of the unit was increasing the TCO with missed DIFOT efforts. Despite inputting all their data into the ERP system, the client found it difficult to forecast loadings and get realistic delivery dates. More stepped in to assist the client in revamping their manual processes and provided them with real-time insights of all the constraints by highlighting the bottlenecks in their processes. The latter scaled up the unit to new heights in the efficiency graph as they enticed lower operating costs through elimination of reactive, urgent, and downtime costs. Notably, there were significant improvements in quality, fewer returns, and traceability owing to its reliable feedback loop of MORE Manufacturing. “We do not believe in ‘Fixed Time Scheduling’ which is often marketed as ‘The Optimization’; however its very definition excludes the process continuous improvement. We support enhanced human interaction and management of the plan. ie. Decision support rather than ‘machine override’.” adds Watters.

The company’s recent move to Cloud technology is expected to extend its reach to a global audience by 2018. The company further plans to reinforce its innovative stance in the business software UX development with its centralized training system modeled on gaming technology. This will help the company to measure user participation and unlock new feature levels, and status points as users gain experience.
