Production management

The plan on the floor, the floor in the plan

GK Proact MES plans in two steps, schedules by work centre and gives operators their tasks on screen. Actual times, consumption and delays come back the moment they happen, so the plan you look at is the one being run.

  • Higher throughput
  • Less unplanned downtime
  • Accurate, paperless execution

What changes

  1. Delivery dates you can promise

    Capacity calendars by work centre turn a customer request into a date you can stand behind.

  2. Fewer replans

    Two-step planning separates rough capacity from detailed sequencing, so a change on one line does not reshuffle the whole plant.

  3. No paper, no guessing

    Operators see the current task, drawing and material list on an Android device. When the plan changes, the screen changes.

  4. Problems caught in the shift

    Late tasks, downtime and consumption show on screens as they are recorded, not in next week's report.

Why GK Proact for manufacturing

  1. Built from ten years on the floor

    The planning method and the task screens come from running a factory, not from a generic workflow engine.

  2. Materials are part of the plan

    Components are checked and reserved before a job starts, and picked to the work centre by the warehouse on schedule.

  3. Suits a workshop or a plant

    The same two-step method scales from a few work centres to multi-site manufacturing with batch and lot control.
