Contact Global network

SMT production planning requires inputting 4M information—Man, Material, Machine, and Method—while considering not only production sequence but also production programs, which has long troubled many planning personnel. By inputting 4M information, MFO mixes data on the number of workers and their skills, quantities of components and jigs, equipment configuration, Dual/Single and Top/Bottom settings with order and delivery deadline information to create a production plan on your behalf that minimizes production lead time.

Features Overview

Implementation Process

Step 1: Understanding Your Challenges

We conduct a thorough investigation and analysis of your manufacturing site to understand the flow of materials and operations, identifying key issues and challenges.

Step 2: Defining Requirements for Improvement

By hearing to your expectations for production management, planning, and workflows, we propose solutions from a third-party perspective.

Step 3: System Design, Development, and Implementation

Together with you, we design the system based on the ideal future state, conduct a simulation on the system and implement it.

Step 4: Operational Support

We provide ongoing support to help you leverage the implemented system for continuous improvement in your operations.

Customer Case Study

Automation of Production Planning

Alps Alpine has used MFO to automatically create complex production plans for SMT floors with large variety of products and small lots. This is an example of how the complex production planning process that used to take half a day was reduced to about five minutes.
