EMI - S6
AN EXTRAORDINARY TOOL DEDICATED TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN
Advanced Planning System
S6 is one advanced professional platform, specialized in supporting the company in the complex supply chain management process, a brief, medium and long term.
It's a tool graphic, interactive and equipped with high performance processing, through which the company has the opportunity to significantly improve logistics and production performance.
Everything you need in a single platform
S6 comes with a wide functional coverage which allows you to effectively manage problems that arise in different time horizons.
In particular, S6 is equipped with 4 main engines (MRP-II, Planning, Scheduling, KPI) and various verticalisations designed to effectively address sectoral peculiarities.
Simulation soul
Thanks to optimized algorithms and processing entirely in memory it allows you to develop different scenarios productive in a few seconds.
The KPI engine provides the essential elements for comparing the different scenarios developed and allows management to more informed decision making.
Medium-long term
In the medium and long term S6 supports decision making developing forecast plans and determining levels of load on resources as well as the commitment of material necessary to satisfy them.
In this context it becomes an indispensable tool in the decision-making process relating to the purchase of new plants, machinery or equipment, in campaigns for the acquisition of new resources with certain skills as well as in the negotiation phase with critical suppliers.
Short period
In the short term (operational horizon), S6 supports the planner in the creation and control of a feasible production plan and optimized, considering the capacity constraints of the resources (where by resources we mean in a broad sense machinery, plants, molds and equipment, skills), of materials appointment.
Thanks to its processing capacity, S6 is able to realign itself in a very short time in the face of unforeseen situations (for example machine downtime or supplier delivery delays, productions that must be totally or partially discarded) and to reformulate a production plan that takes into account the current situation.
Thanks to its rich alert system, S6 is capable of highlight critical situations reducing production reaction time.
BENEFITS FOR THE CUSTOMER
Increase in production flow
The increase in production flow is the first objective of S6 which provides the customer with advanced algorithms and an alert system aimed at synchronization of materials and production activities.
Decrease in stock levels
Synchronizing purchasing components and production operations means purchasing when needed and significantly reduce excess inventory.
Reduction of inefficiencies and waste
Effectively planning production activities means avoid machine downtime due to lack of components, it means setup optimization and better exploitation of critical resources.
Reduction in production costs
The reduction in stocks, warehouse obsolescence, inefficiencies and waste immediately translates into a decrease in production costs.
Increased service level
The rationalization of production flows and purchases allows the priority system to be propagated, relieving bottlenecks and suppliers of useless or postponable activities. Qthis translates to a increase in the level of service to the end customer.
Reduction of delivery lead times
Finally, the improvement of the production flow has, as is well known, the direct consequence of a reduction in the overall average lead time, which in turn immediately translates into a increase in the company's competitiveness.
