Highlights
- Modern manufacturing assembly lines function on the seamless backflush of key components in a pre-defined sequence.
- During mass production, an assembly line requires optimal line-side space and zero stockout at the line-side location to maximize the manufacturing efficiency.
- The TCS Crystallus™ Forward Broadcasting service leverages Oracle Cloud /E-Business Suite Applications (EBS) to provide an intelligent automated solution that ensures the sequential assembly of product components along with effective utilization of line-side space, avoiding inventory stock-out.

OVERVIEW
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.

SOLUTION
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.
With our service, you can:
- Track the assembly process from the Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
- Send a work order notification from MES to Oracle ERP applications executing the assembly build process
- Ensure the parts to be fitted at the subsequent workstations are picked from the source to arrive just-in-time
- Create an automated replenishment order to ensure optimization in the movement from the raw materials stores to the line-side location.
- This mitigates the chance of an inventory stock-out during the production process
Benefits
Effective space utilization drives manufacturing efficiency and improves productivity
Some of the key benefits delivered are:
- Efficient movement and utilization of components within a defined timeframe keeps the assembly line functioning seamlessly.
- Reduced cycle time in the assembly line with efficient material handling
- More than 30% improvement in space utilization with optimal line-side inventory
- Zero stock-out at the line-side inventory location
- Optimal material movement from warehouse to the line-side location
- 100% material availability at the line-side location
The ’jump-start kit’ supports accelerated implementation of the service for customers.
