Hello,
I’m a production planner at our CNC/Industrial workshop based in Norway.
We’re have 30 CNC machines, from huge mills to small lathes. Also got CNC grinding and EDM, welding and coating/surface treatment.
So, my question is about planning. I struggle to make good plans and sew the orders together in a smart and efficient matter. I use a program called Rob-Ex to do the planning, which visualize all resources (machines) and its great. But everyday i stumble across a new problem. Either the operator is using to much time, or the calculated time is wrong. There are also other factors which goes wrong like material deliveries and CPI which are late.
Does anyone here work with planning? got any suggestions? I’d also love a video about this specific issue on how Titans of CNC does planning.
Without good plans you could forget about expanding, thats for sure.
