WoPS – Improving production processes based on valid data

You have a feeling that your production has become too complex to try and optimize it with more or less costly Excel analyses, but you don’t have the time or the budget for a realistic simulation? That is exactly where the WoPS (value stream-oriented production control) tool comes into play. The tool offers two functions – (1) an analysis of logistics performance and (2) a simulation of adjustments to your production processes.

For the analysis of logistics performance, the tool presents extensive analyses in 8 categories ranging from process complexity to production control principles from ERP feedback data in interactive and intuitive charts. These various viewpoints to assess your production performance ensure that a comprehensive improvement of the production processes will be achieved, instead of individual optimizations to the detriment of other areas of the process.

For the simulation of production adjustments, a digital image of your production based on feedback data is generated in the software Plant Simulation ©. You simply build on simulation components we have already programmed and validated, which means you will not have to migrate your production processes individually into a simulation model. You can focus fully on targeted increases in the levels of value creation, instead of losing yourself in unnecessary simulation validations.
