a software product designed to aid small manufacturing companies in the strategic
planning of their resources for optimum profitability and productivity. The software provides manufacturing and marketing
management with the means to examine various strategic scenarios for
profitability and productivity concerning the acceptance of orders and
forecasts and scheduling of production facilities, and thereby determine
mathematically optimum selling and production plans. These plans are
generated from strategic objectives set by management using marketing
constraints on customer demand and manufacturing constraints on
available resources. This can address such management concerns as:
"Before accepting and scheduling orders or sales forecasts do we have
adequate
manufacturing resources for production and delivery in the promised planning periods? "
"Does our current scheduling policy assure that we are placing
our products on the right machines at each stage in the
manufacturing chain for optimum
productivity or throughput?"
"Before
making sales commitments and scheduling production do we know if our
current policy gives us the product mix for optimum
profitability and productivity within our sales and production capability?"
This OSP software was developed by
Scope, LLC and plant-tested through
manufacturing research projects over many years in an effort to provide
manufacturing and marketing management with a common source of information and
means to address these and similar strategic planning concerns. A computer database model of the customer demand and manufacturing
supply chain was designed as a basis, starting with the purchase of raw materials and going through the
manufacturing stages to the customer demand for the end products.
The OSP product is intended for
small manufacturers, software developers and consultants interested in supplementing
their MRP, ERP and SCM scheduling and planning software which lack these mathematical optimization capabilities
for strategic planning.
