MJC²'s lean manufacturing software and process control optimisation solutions are designed to address complex manufacturing planning and process automation problems. Our production scheduler software PIMSS addresses areas such as lean manufacturing planning, optimisation of process control systems, process automation scheduling, capacity planning, manufacturing resource planning and computer integrated manufacturing scheduling.

Our manufacturing optimisation solutions cover all aspects of lean manufacturing planning, including Capacity Planning, Just in Time Scheduling, Integrated Supply Chain Optimization and Process Control & Automation.

MJC²'s manufacturing planning software is very flexible and can be used in a wide range of manufacturing environments, including food, aggregates, textiles, engineering, hi-tech, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Our systems are particularly applicable to very large or highly complex factories, or to operations which produce short shelf-life or high volume goods with unpredictable demand profiles and short lead times.

Capacity planning and longer term strategic optimisation of the manufacturing process are provided by our PIMSS, i-Data and e-Stock toolsets. PIMSS automatically creates capacity plans and strategic production plans based on predicted demand calculated using i-Data's forecasting modules, while e-Stock facilitates the optimisation of long-term inventory positions based on capacity and demand variances.

Just-in-time scheduling and real-time manufacturing planning is a key area of specialism for MJC². Our manufacturing scheduling systems are capable of planning and optimising very large, complex operations in real-time, automatically responding to events such as last-minute orders, cancellations, raw material delays, breakdowns, etc. Our production scheduler PIMSS includes scheduling and optimisation algorithms which are powerful enough to create schedules in seconds while being flexible enough to take account of complex operational rules and constraints.

An important aspect of MJC²'s lean manufacturing solutions is that they can take account of all aspects of the manufacturing operation. Usually it is necessary to include factors such as transport, supply chain planning, raw materials sourcing, inventory planning, etc. when planning the production process. In addition to our leading edge production planning solution PIMSS, we also provide integrated transport/distribution scheduling solutions (DISC), strategic optimisation software (SLIM), inventory control and optimisation software (e-Stock) and forecasting and demand planning systems (i-Data).

MJC²'s manufacturing scheduler software and production planning systems integrate naturally with process control systems or process automation technology. The ability of our production scheduling systems to quickly and automatically create detailed line/factory schedules enables operations to respond dynamically to unexpected events. PIMSS can receive real-time information such as actual stock levels, actual production, current throughputs, customer orders, current machine efficiencies, etc and use this data to automatically refine and re-optimise the current production plan. The updated plan can then be issued electronically to process control or process automation systems, and to line managers and personnel in real-time. MJC² is one of the few companies in the world capable of providing real-time manufacturing scheduling solutions for large production operations and our systems are ideally suited to complex computer integrated manufacturing processes.
