Speed design time and streamline manufacturing with Solid Edge Sheet metal

Designing sheet metal parts can be a complex process. Though an end product is designed fully formed and assembled, sheet metal parts actually begin as flat plates. Getting that design manufactured into a physical part requires numerous considerations, such as material thickness, ben and corner relief, miter deformation and critical dimensions.

Optimizing Manufacturing Production Scheduling (MPS) using constraint programming

whitePaper | July 7, 2022

Production scheduling primarily deals with arranging different jobs in various machines based on the timelines for each job. There can be numerous combinations of schedules possible. Production schedules can be designed to maximize the capacity utilization, minimize idle time of the machine, earliness, overall costs etc. Manual design of a schedule can be a tedious and time consuming task. There are a lot of dependencies which the scheduler needs to tweak based on a single change. Generating a production schedule targeting a specific objective function can be done using mathematical models. Mathematical models involve formulating the production scheduling problem as an optimization model wherein there is a certain objective function which needs to be optimized based on a set of constraints. Mathematical models generally outperform manually designed schedules which involve a lot of inter-dependencies among the jobs. Due to improvement in computational power, developing a production schedule using mathematical models is relatively quick and efficient.
