FOCUS ON

CONTRAINT MANAGER

Identify constraining operations automatically and focus your limited resources on the areas that impact production the most.

Downtime alone is a misleading indicator of equipment performance in an assembly line setting. True constraint management requires understanding the context behind each stop. A machine may be idle, but the root cause could lie upstream or downstream. It could be blocked because the next machine is down or full, or starved because material isn’t arriving on time. Additionally, it could be impact blocked—for example, a reject chute is full—or impact starved, such as when a nut feeder supplying the machine is empty. These states often penalize the machines performance, however the machine was not the cause of the downtime. Identifying and categorizing these conditions is essential to uncover the real constraints in your production flow and make informed decisions about where to apply improvement efforts.

The Constraint Manager module provides you with a visual tool that shows you exactly where chronic constraints are located in the line. Our color-coded system helps you identify the biggest constraints at a glance. This module includes a proprietary metric that allows you to view a constraint report for any timeframe you need, including both live and historical reports of the line.

THIS TOOL GOES BEYOND MEASURING THE EFFICIENCY OF COMPLEX LINES OR PROCESSES – IT HELPS IDENTIFY WHAT CAN BE IMPROVED.

CONSTRAINT MANAGER MODULE FEATURES

See exactly where chronic constraints are located in the line and identify the biggest issues at a glance – with a color coded system.

  • Visual representation of your process flow
  • Colour coded constraint metric to measure the impact of each station in the line 
  • Report views for any specified time period

Highly Visual Tool

  • Visual tools and shapes using color and numeric indicators represent your unique processes
  • Color coded constraint metric measures the impact of each station in the line to identify constraining operations

Customizable Reports

  • View a report for any timeframe, part number, shift, and more
  • Access live, interactive reports online
  • Examine historical reports of constraint issues
