MFO

Manufacturing operations optimizer MFO
Automatically draws up a production plan necessary for on-site operations to reduce man-hours required for the production plan process and enhance production efficiency. MFO creates the schedule of detailed production and pre-setup operation, and also calculates the number of operators required for the production by manufacturing simulation of the entire SMT floor.

Function list

Function Function Description
Mounting process simulation In consideration of “error occurrence in production machines," “parts exchange by operators" and “operatorsʼ travel time," it models a mounting floor, and simulates production conditions including multiple mounting lines and off-line setup processes. This ensures highly accurate simulation results.
[Optimization function]
Production plan optimization
In consideration of multiple production lines, it optimizes a production plan based on the production conditions set up in [mounting process simulation]. This allows the “production line" and “production order" of each PCB to be calculated / provided automatically.
[Optimization function]
Setup plan optimization
It optimizes “off-line setup" sequence according to the production plan developed in [production plan optimization].
This allows automatic calculation / provision of “priorities for setups in multiple lines," “a setup plan that takes into account the shred use of carts" and “effects of an increase / decrease in the setup number of operators on the production plan."
*The optimization function of “In-line setup" is currently under development.
[Optimization function]
number of operators optimization
Based on the production conditions set up in [Mounting process simulation], it optimizes the number of operators required for each line and setup, allowing you to automatically calculate / provide “the number of the operators required."
