In manufacturing, the key to efficiency is making the most effective use of your resources. The trex Cycle Time Management Module maximizes your production capacity by enabling multiple work orders to be executed simultaneously on the same machine. This module either automatically combines work orders or allows operators to easily merge them via the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) screen on the shop floor. This makes your production flow more flexible and your ERP integration more organized and reliable.

• Multi-Work Order Management: Unlike traditional production management, trex lets you run two or more work orders simultaneously on a single machine. This is a significant advantage, especially when similar products need to be manufactured under one setup. For example, two different products for different customers but made with similar materials can be processed in a single setup.

• Flexible Merging Model: The module supports receiving combined work orders from top-level systems like ERP. Furthermore, operatorscan dynamically merge different work orders with a few simple taps on the MES screen. This flexibility allows you to adapt instantly to unexpected plan changes or urgent orders.

• Efficient Workflow and Resource Utilization: Using multiple work orders on the same resource allows you to utilize your machine capacity far more effectively. This minimizes machine downtime and setup times while increasing production volume and overall efficiency.

• Easy Tracking and Reporting: Merged work orders can be tracked in an integrated manner on a single screen. The status, progress percentage, and completion time of each work order are monitored in real time. Additionally, data on labor and material consumption is reported clearly, providing a detailed analysis.

• Seamless ERP Integration: Thanks to the standard integration architecture, the multi-work order processes managed in trex are reflected accurately and cleanly in your ERP system without causing any complexity. This ensures data consistency for processes like accounting, cost calculation, and planning.

• Agility in Production Management: The ability to manage work orders more efficiently on the same machine offers an ideal solution for small-batch productions and frequently changing orders.

• Capacity Optimization: Reduces machine idle time, increases your total production capacity, and accelerates the return on your capital investment.

• Operational Ease: Operators can perform tasks intuitively using MES screens instead of paper work orders, simplifying their jobs.

• Reliable Data Flow: More organized and reliable data transferred to your ERP system provides a solid foundation for accurate cost calculations and strategic decisions.

The trex Cycle Time Management Module makes your production processes more flexible, agile, and efficient by enabling the simultaneous management of work orders on the same resource. This is a critical step to gain a competitive advantage in modern manufacturing environments.
