FAST/pro

FAST/pro - for transparent and efficient order processing in production

FAST/pro is an order control station and monitoring system for the control of order processing in production and assembly.

The main focus is on the monitoring functions for the detection of weak points as well as on the planning algorithms which, in the sense of an order control center, enable a manageable planning even for multi-level order networks. Simulations allow users to test different planning methods and control measures and to evaluate and compare their results.

As an order control center mapping of

• order release
• machine assignment planning
• staff scheduling
• capacity planning and capacity control
• capacity simulation
• determination of realistic delivery dates

As a monitoring and controlling system mapping of

• Investment planning
• analysis and determination of planning parameters
• qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the current status
• identification of weak points in operational order processing
• qualitative and quantitative strategic capacity planning
• Identification of target/actual deviations and potential bottlenecks
• definition of target parameters for order processing

The software supports the development of a logistics reporting system. This can include both past and future data and can thus also be used as an early warning system. The software solution thus provides a decision-making basis for all hierarchical levels of a company.

The monitoring and controlling functions are based on program modules. These program modules can be individually adapted to the respective customer requirements or extended as needed.
