Process and Machine Routing Optimization
Routing determines the exact manufacturing trajectory—from CNC cutting and welding to surface finishing and packaging.
Key Metrics:
- Setup vs. Run Time: Distinguishes machine changeover setup from per-unit cycle time.
- Work Center Costing: Direct allocation of machine depreciation, power, and labor hourly rates into unit costs.
- OEE Monitoring: Overall Equipment Effectiveness tracking and downtime analysis.
