Batch Optimization
Batch Optimization optimizes the creation of compatible batches, taking into account capacities, constraints, and scheduling requirements. The algorithm analyzes production orders, material properties, and equipment constraints to generate cost-efficient batch structures and stable production campaigns. This results in improved asset utilization, reduced lead times, and more efficient production processes.
Batch and campaign planning is often characterized by:
- complex product constraints
- limited furnace and equipment capacities
- inefficient batch composition
- high lead times
- trade-offs between utilization and delivery deadlines
- high manual planning effort
Batch Optimization automatically optimizes:
- formation of compatible batches
- furnace and equipment scheduling
- sequence and material constraints
- capacity utilization
- compliance with delivery deadlines
Technical and logistical constraints are systematically taken into account to generate feasible and cost-efficient production plans.
This becomes particularly critical in the case of:
- Batch and campaign manufacturing
- heat treatment processes
- complex material constraints
- high product variety
- parallelen Produktionsströmen
