Lineside space utilization is critical for manufacturing operations.
Achieving optimal space utilization implies minimizing area occupancy while maximizing value-adding potential per unit of floor space. Identifying the exact amount of line-side space, to keep sufficient inventory for a build process, is therefore essential.
Streamlining assembly line operations can ensure every component needed is available only when required. But this also increases the probability of inventory stock-out. Alternatively, storing parts at various workstations, to avoid risk of stock-out, can result in overstocking of inventory at line-side locations, increasing costs and space utilized.
A trade-off between these two is needed to ensure optimal line-side space is utilized to keep the inventory for the build process.
The TCS Crystallus™ Forward Broadcasting service, leverages Oracle Cloud/E-Business Suite Applications (EBS) and TCS’ contextual expertise, to provide an intelligent automated solution.
It ensures the sequential assembly of product components while offering a line-side replenishment function that aligns the demand to the source inventory and mitigates the risk of stock-out during production.
