Fujitsu on August 31 announced the availability of a software package for the manufacturing industry, including manufacturers of home electronics, high-precision machinery, and automotive components, that supports companies in increasing the efficiency of their production activities in response to market demands.
GLOVIA/SCP FA PSI Collaborator was developed by Fujitsu Advanced Engineering Limited, which possesses a wealth of experience in developing systems that support the production activities of manufacturers.
GLOVIA/SCP FA PSI Collaborator automatically generates production quotas – target production volumes shared by the production, sales, and procurement departments of a manufacturer – for a product depending on the number of daily orders received. Companies can perform simulations to forecast supply and demand, including optimal production schedules, production sequencing based on demand, as well as volumes of required components and inventory quantities.
The Fujitsu Group plans to gradually deploy this software at three of its factories for the production of servers, PCs, and other products. The company will then support its customers’ manufacturing initiatives based on this hands-on experience. (read more on http://www.asahi.com/english/TKY201008310318.html)
