Flexibility is one of the most demanded features in an APS system. And one of the sectors that this flexibility is most required is in the conflicting interface between the production and sales.
The Drummer APS, through its Drummer Quiz module, provides a powerful tool to simulate, analyze and support the dynamics of the companies’ commercial departments.
Among the functionalities of the Drummer Quiz, we can point out:
Scenarios Simulation
Several commercial scenarios can be created and simulated, comparing them in terms of results.
Backlog Analysis
The user can simulate the backlog and see the impact on the financial results, identifying products / orders that are above / below the throughput targets.
Due Date Quotation
Every time a production schedule is generated and confirmed, Drummer’s synchronization module saves a load profile for all declared constrained resources. In this way, at any time, your commercial area can make quick and reliable due date quotations, for a single or a set of products, taking into account your constraints related to machines and materials and respecting the previous in-progress schedule. Moreover, once committed a due date with your customer, the Drummer Quiz allows you to book that committed capacity so that another simulation will disregard that portion of the capacity already booked, preventing two or more simulations from using the same resources, at the same moment.
Bottlenecks and load simulations
Even before accepting a new order and release it to production, we can analyze its implications on the line balancing, the fulfillment capabilities and related costs.
“What if …”
The Drummer Quiz allows the commercial sector, with no physical interaction with the plant, to analyze scenarios and the consequences regarding the process of accepting new orders.
