From the upper right side of the screen, click on the profile picture to configure your company data, register new users and access permissions for your device.
Dashboard
This panel summarizes your main indicators of efficiency, performance and quality.
Monitor your data in more detail by clicking on them and they will direct you to the report in question, or you can also click on the section Performance n the menu where you can choose which report you want to see.
Here we show you a Gantt visualization of the optimal schedule generated.
Each row represents a machine, the molds are visualized with gray diagonal stripes and the parts are the batches that come after a mold, they can contain the color you selected in Work in Process. You can make modifications to the schedule:
Move the order of production batches of parts using drag and drop.
Increase and decrease production batches with double click on a batch.
Increase and reduce the installation time of a mold with double click on a mold.
Add a downtime with double click on a mold. Select the category, the reason for downtime and the time. To add your list of downtimes, go to the section Downtimes and create it.
Add notes on each machine to indicate a priority to the production floor.
Add a new production batch with double click on a mold.
Add a new mold and its production in a machine, with a click on the name of a machine.
You can check the Timetables to see more in detail what each shift should do.
You can also see the Production Orders for each batch production with the specific requirements of raw materials.
The best way to start your journey is with just a sample database.
The first step to start your journey in SCHEMA is add at least one of the following to your database: 1 Work-in-Process, 1 Finished Product, 1 Mold, and 1 Machine. These items should be related to each one another to be able to say that 1 Production Route is complete.
Once you have at least 1 complete Product Route, you can add a Customer Order and create your first production schedule.
With an ongoing schedule, you can capture real production and automatically begin to generate the Key Performance Indicators of your plant.
First, go to Raw Materials and click on the button located on the upper right side to follow my filling instructions.
Machines Production
Here you can enter the records of the production of your machines. The capture is divided by machine, click on the name of one to start. Clicking on the button will display a menu with the following options:
'Add Production':
'Add Downtime':
'Add Cut':
'Remove this Action':
The data must be captured in minutes. Do not forget to click on the button located on each machine
Imagine having an inventory of your raw material warehouse updated at all times and at the click of a button, SCHEMA has the solution.
Keeping the warehouses of manufacturing plants in order is not an easy task, due to the pace of work and day to day activities it is common not to be updated and keep a disorganization of materials, products, tools and everything that for some reason came to the warehouse.
The ideal is to create a distribution of space so that both raw materials and finished products can be accommodated and obtained easily with the help of labeling, also this allows you to have a visual inventory ... until something enters or leaves the warehouse and you do not have a record.
SCHEMA helps you to obtain an updated inventory of the raw material through a record of the entries and exits that happen in the warehouse, that is, since a supplier arrives at the plant and unloads the material until the resin is delivered to the production department of the plant without losing sight of its possible return to the warehouse, in case of surplus material.
It looks like a dream inventory, but it is real; SCHEMA in just a couple of screens allows you to review a summary of the inventory and edit at all times what happens with each of the materials, either if the supplier arrived or if it was necessary to add more material to a recipe to complete a production.
In addition, it is very easy to implement since you can start with the safety inventory that most likely you already have it registered in SCHEMA when you register a raw material and it will be considered as your initial balance; later, you start adding the records indicating the lot number, location, cost and any reference.
For the calculations and the explosion of the bills of materials, don't worry, SCHEMA does them for you, this way you can check at all times the availability and consumption of each of the materials used for the production of molded parts.
