À̰ÍÀº This supports a forecasting process that incorporates feedback and overrides from management, manufacturing, marketing, sales, and other areas of the organization, in their terms, while understanding where changes occurred.

Other software packages have rigid data models and are limited to top-down or bottom-up approaches. MIMI/DM is completely flexible and works the way you do. The forecast can be produced and managed at any level in the product routing, e.g., a higher level product family as well as finished good or SKU, any level in the distribution network (plant, distribution terminal, warehouse, etc.), or any other attributes necessary.

  • Trade-offs between expediting rules and alternative transportation modes versus safety stocks and inventory costs

MIMI optimizes your inventory deployment using linear programming, simulated annealing algorithms, and/or traditional DRP planning techniques as appropriate. It considers the economic impact of near-term expediting rules using its integrated expert system.

Synchronizing market demand with production decisions is key to maximizing the productivity and responsiveness of the supply chain. Any improvement in this area directly reduces the need to carry safety stock or build spare capacity.

¡¡
¡¡ Tactical Operations Planning

Tactical Operations Planning focuses on "where to make what". It involves allocating production across various plants while minimizing transportation and operating costs. By combining the production with the distribution problem, MIMI provides a globally optimal solution, while respecting capacity and other constraints.

Issues addressed include:

  • Where to procure raw or intermediate materials
  • Sourcing of production across plants, and within plants
  • Use of internal (finite) capacity versus purchases, tolls, contract production, exchanges, or infinite capacity
  • Movements of intermediates between manufacturing sites

MIMI considers the demands on the business (both forecast and orders), available inventory, and the capabilities and constraints of the manufacturing sites and distribution network, and production capacities, constraints, and preferences. The drivers for this decision making process are the economics of the business (revenues and costs), and business objectives - much more than any other system is capable of addressing. This is effective in both made-to-stock and made-to-order environments.

We use linear programming technology to develop an optimal production and distribution plan. There are no restrictions on the number of supply and demand points, or intermediate storage facilities. In this framework, demand can be a hard constraint (minimize cost) or a soft constraint (maximize profit). Capacity can likewise be a hard constraint (finite), or a soft constraint (deciding how/when to use vendors, tollers, or otherwise out-source the production requirements).

Decisions regarding sourcing of production and modes of transportation to be used are passed down to a Smart DRP function (see below), or to a DRP function within your traffic or logistics department. Purchasing requirements are passed to the Purchasing function within the business.

MIMI has the flexibility to permit the inclusion of periodic shutdowns or unusual production constraints in the model. Some clients require aging of production, others require different production stages occurring in different locations. This might overwhelm some systems but is easily handled with MIMI's method of model formulation. MIMI can help you evaluate several alternatives and determine answers that will increase profits and improve customer service.

¡¡
¡¡ Plant Operations and Capacity Planning

Plant Operations and Capacity Planning consists of a "look ahead" function for a single site over a time horizon of several weeks to a year. It ensures sufficient production capacity, raw materials, and personnel are available to meet demand. Demand may include forecasts, actual orders, or a combination of the two. MIMI can be used for:

  • capacity planning (equipment loadings, production calendar, labor levels)
  • defining the timing and volume of purchases of longer lead time raw materials that affect planning decisions (signal to purchase)
  • evaluating campaign size and frequency (when there are significant costs associated with changing operations).

MIMI goes beyond MPS, MRP, and CRP because it can suggest solutions to the capacity (or inventory) problems that it encounters. In addition, the solution process is driven by economics, and will consider the use of alternate routings and alternate formulations. MIMI can evaluate alternate ways of making the same product, as well as co-product and by-product recipes. Alternate operations are automatically substituted for the primary during schedule generation if warranted by a capacity overload or material runout.

¡¡
¡¡ Scheduling

Scheduling is a near-term function that addresses the sequence, timing, and volumes of manufacturing activities or movements to be executed. It is a dynamic process that involves reacting to perpetual changes in customer orders, demand forecast, material availability, and production throughput.

MIMI provides interactive tools to determine if a given sequence of activities is feasible with respect to both inventory and capacity. It dynamically determines activity timing requirements across multiple stages of production, linking inventories and production activities to customer orders and net forecast. It can suggest solutions to problems created by changes or upsets, as well as cost-saving improvements to a schedule by reducing changeover and inventory holding costs, or increasing effective capacity. The solution process can include:

  • creating new production activities
  • defining purchases
  • re-sequencing activities
  • changing start times
  • changing production volumes
  • providing feedback on schedule costs

MIMI has the most powerful suite of scheduling algorithms available. Twenty scheduling algorithms are used, as appropriate to your application, to generate capacity and material-feasible schedules quickly. The algorithms make use of a variety of techniques including JIT, ASAP, network, critical path, and heuristic formulations.

MIMI does not make limiting assumptions about the nature of your scheduling environment and problems. MIMI assumes local bottlenecks may "move" dynamically across facilities and over time. Costs of different schedules are monitored and considered by certain algorithms to drive towards least-cost objectives when possible.

¡¡
¡¡ Able-To-Promise (ATP)

The key to competitive advantage in many industries today is the ability to commit ? and fulfill ? customer requests for product delivery quickly and reliably. MIMI provides advanced ATP capability extending far beyond the standard definition of Available-to-Promise. It enables customer service representatives to interact with the production schedule to determine the ability to promise, in order to provide customers with firm shipment dates, instantly.

MIMI/ATP links Order Fulfillment systems directly to Scheduling and/or Planning applications. Users initiate dynamic, real-time re-scheduling in a controlled fashion. Orders can be promised to customers interactively based on existing inventory, already-planned production, available but not yet scheduled capacity, or any combination of these sources.

In addition to determining the feasibility of filling individual orders, MIMI can be used to close the loop between forecast-driven planning and order-driven scheduling. It does this by providing specific guidance on what to do if orders deviate from forecast. This process is very dynamic because of its ability to accept new order changes with every commitment.

MIMI is easily configured to the client¡¯s order management and scheduling environments. Expert System rules are used to automate the commitment process on the basis of your business practices and objectives. MIMI¡¯s integrated Expert System is essential for modeling these complex and dynamic business rules.
