Planning: designing for performances!• To meet the market requested performance ( service
level, lead times, costs) You have to design for them• CyberPlan Supply Chain Designer is a new, long
waited, tool that allowes to design for performace– Resource planning (equipements, personnel, tools,..)
– Safety stocks and all other MRP parameters
– Purchasing contract conditions (due dates, qty, safety stocks, min-max deviation,...)
• Same data and model used by your ERP

Cybertec Projects at Electrolux Zanussi Cold Division-Susegana
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
Zanussi & Cybertec Projects• Completed
– Short Term FCS in the moulding dpts
• Current – FAS & MPS Phase 1
• Automated Optimal Final Assembly Scheduling
• Planned– FAS & MPS Phase 2
• Automated Optimized Master Production Schedule
• Integration with Demand Management System
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
• A brief introduction– It was a ‘97 project
– The problem was to build an automated schedule for the daily activities of the two production departments Innerliner Thermofoaming and Innerdoor Thermofoaing.
– We started with one department and after successful implementation we dealt with the other one.
– The daily scheduling activities involved very experienced employees.
Short Term Finite Capacity Scheduling in the Innerliner Thermofoaming and Indoor
Thermofoaming departments
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
The goals
• Main goal: let not-experienced employees schedule the department by giving them a computerized scheduling system.
• Other benefits required:– Updated scheduling plans.
– More detailed scheduling of the production activities.
– More constraints under the planner control.
– More activities better organized (machine changeover, purchasing material call-out).
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
The scheduling problem
• A hard set of constraints– A set of production requests
with hourly due - dates for the next three days (or more).
– Production & changeover activities.
– Finite number of:
• machine operator crews
• set - up crews
• moulds
• Sequence dependent changeover costs:
• change mould
• change version (slight modification of the mould)
• same mould (change of material color)
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
Output:
• A production schedule for each machine such that:– satisfies the given constraints– minimizes the changeover costs – minimizes the due dates violation
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
Problem features• Why the problem was so difficult
– Several contraints (changeover crew, operator machine crew, moduls, …)
– Sequence set - up optimization
– System was to be able to suspend a production lot and continue with a more urgent lot
– Very strict lots due dates
• Moreover….– Easy to use and fast response system (few seconds…)
– Very low level interaction with the computerized system
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
The solutionBased on CyberPlan
Standard Scheduling Technology:– This was the best
technology availiable to solve the problem due to the number of production lots (hundreds) to be scheduled, the variety of the constraints, and the response time required.
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
Goals reached
• CyberPlan is now scheduling the production of both departments– For more than one year CyberPlan has been helping to
better organize the production in the Innerliner Thermofoaming and Innerdoor Thermofoaming departments
• The scheduling of the activities in both departments are managed now by “no - guru guys”
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
Next steps
• What could be done– New Cybertec Advanced Scheduling Technology could
be applied to reach an even better performance in the production department
• What will be done– Cybertec Advanced Scheduling Technology to
optimize the Master Production Schedule & Final Assembly Scheduling
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
FAS: a brief introduction
– Building a FAS follows the choice and qty of finished products to be produced in a given week.
– The FAS consists in building a feasible and optimized schedule for finished products on the assembly lines.
– It is the heart of the factory as it drives the production and purchaising (call out) flows of the factory.
– FAS gives the “drum beat” to all of the activities in the factory.
– As Zanussi-Susegana is a real Synchronous Manufacturing Environment, the FAS defines the feasible and optimal production flow of all production departments
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
The goal of FAS project:
• There are a lot of critical aspects the planner has to deal with to get a feasible and optimized FAS
• The goal is to give the FAS planner a computerized system that can help him in building and maintaining a feasible and optimized schedule.
• Moreover, with the support of this system the user will be able to control more constraints and optimization aspects of the production process.
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
Two different technological areas with different scheduling problems
• There is a substantial difference between the two main areas of the assembly process– Traditional Assembly Lines
• Scheduling Problem:– Find a feasible and optimal schedule of production lots
– Automatic Assembly Lines• Load Balancing & Scheduling problem
– Find a production daily rate and optimal schedule of production lots
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
The FAS Scheduling Problem
• Due dates of the production lots• Sequencing rules that are used to optimize the
chenge over costs in the production flow– At present, more seven sequence optimization rules must be taken
simultaneously in count when building a schedule!
• Critical constraints that must be satisfied– Foaming Moulds– Welding Machine
• Critical resources that must be highlighted– “Round Door” production
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
The Loading Problem
• Definine the optimal daily production rate for each automatic assembly line under– Capacity constraints
• no more than x items can be produced in a given “ring”
– Optimization criteria• a given efficiency must be guarantee
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
Automated Optimized Master Production Scheduling System
• The problem is to define which finished products have to be produced in each week of the planning period
• Problem data:– a customer priority class– a minimum level of customer service for each class of priority– a minimum level of resourcce utilization– a set of customer’s requests for each week– the assembly lines capacity and the capacity of other critical resources– the bill of critical resources of each product– a set of production constraints (min production lot for model plant or
pnc, max …)
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
Quality optimization measures
• A feasible master production plan– defines what to produce (which finished products) and
how much (how much for each PNC) under respect of the capacity constraints
• Customer Service level– for each priority class the customer service level is
defined:• (number of satisfied customers’ demands)/(number of
customers’demands)
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
The goal
• Find an automated feasible master production plan which:1. guarantees a minimum level of customer service
2. the remaining capacity is allocated to satisfy the customers’ demands according to the priority class defined
CYBERTEC - The Planning and Scheduling Company
Output
• The amount of each PNC (finished product) that must be produced on week_i
• The list of customers’ demands which will be satisfied
• The list of customers’ demands which will not be satisfied– The level of customer service
– The level of resources utilization
– Alarms
