Learn how FactoryTalk Production helps discrete manufacturers to balance cost and quality objectives in this interactive e-Book.
How Effective is your Discrete (Assembly) Process?
61% of executives cited digital initiatives as a tool for growth in 2017 compared to 31% in 2014. Accenture CEO Briefing/The Economist Intelligent Unit
According to Aberdeen Research, 82% of companies have experienced unplanned downtime, and it can cost a company as much as $260,000 an hour.
IIoT claims to revolutionize manufacturing. This requires building the capabilities to improve agility, speed product introduction, implement ideas faster and achieve greater flexibility. MES can contribute to building these capabilities.
The losses associated with changeovers range from 5% to 25% of total available production hours, and many can be eliminated.
In addition to fines, there are several intangible cost of non-compliance. Remediation costs, product recalls, plant closings, stock share price and executive liability. Industry Insights

Continuous improvement for discrete manufacturing
Successful discrete manufacturers plan and control production to keep it running smoothly at required levels while meeting cost and quality objectives. They enforce standard manufacturing processes while continuously monitoring and evaluating production plans to adapt them to better meet and improve cost, quality, flexibility, delivery and other objectives on the fly.
FactoryTalk® Production is a scalable solution
that helps manufacturers to balance these objectives
with an automated method of managing
orders in complex environments.

Define the Build Plan
For each part to be assembled, the build plan describes the required steps. The completed build plan links the BoM, plant model, workflows and stations. It fully defines all of the required assembly steps and workflows.

Build Your Workflows
When you add equipment or balance
the workload on a line, the workflow at
each piece of equipment needs to be
easy to create or reconfigure. FactoryTalk
Production lets manufacturers create
operator workflows using build plan
wizards.

Model Your Production Process
To support new products or production
volumes, manufacturers often need to
add equipment to the plant and change
material flows. Too frequently, this is a
lengthy process requiring collaboration
among several disciplines.
FactoryTalk Production streamlines the
process by providing a graphical plant
layout and hierarchy in which you can add equipment
to the system and change material flow
simply by dragging connectors and editing
properties.
In the end, your main goal is to increase profitability.

FactoryTalk Production includes a set of reports and dashboards to help with analysis of the order
process and monitoring Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This enables receipt of scheduled
orders and provides automated, real-time information for immediate Work in Process (WIP)
updates such as order status, material consumption and process deviations.
