For high-precision, high-mix low-volume operations with bottleneck CNC resources, connects finite-capacity machining schedules with multi-level assembly readiness to expose machine load, WIP progress and assembly shortages earlier.
The company manufactures precision metal parts, semiconductor-equipment components and assemblies. High-value CNC and grinding resources have different capabilities, routings are long, rework/subcontracting is common, and assembly depends on synchronized readiness across manufactured, purchased and WIP components.
Different CNC/grinding resources have different capabilities and accuracy ranges
Tooling, fixtures, inspection tools and personnel constrain machine eligibility
WIP is distributed across operations, making true assembly-ready dates hard to calculate
Late critical manufactured parts directly affect final assembly, but machining and assembly are often planned separately
Rush orders require synchronized changes to machining load and assembly plans
AiPS first performs finite-capacity machining scheduling using resource capability, routings, tooling, calendars and due dates, continuously calculating expected completion for critical manufactured parts. The assembly-readiness model then combines purchased parts, inventory, inbound supply and WIP to calculate ready dates and shortage lists, enabling two-way linkage between machining progress and assembly priority.
Capability and alternative-resource models for CNC/grinding equipment
Tooling, fixture, inspection-tool and calendar constraints
Finite-capacity machining scheduling and bottleneck-load analysis
Multi-level readiness across purchased parts, manufactured parts and WIP
Assembly shortages feed back into machining priority
Synchronized machining and assembly rescheduling after rush orders
Greater visibility into high-value equipment load and bottlenecks
Critical manufactured-part completion dates are linked to assembly plans
Assembly shortages are identified earlier with actionable lists
Planning moves from separate machining/assembly sheets to one coordinated delivery chain
