Manufacturing Execution
Effective logistics is an essential component of world class manufacturing. Optimal production schedules, yields and productivity are dependent on a predictable flow of raw materials and components into the manufacturing process in proper sequence, time-sensitive management of work order processing, and the smooth flow of finished goods into distribution. RedPrairie’s Manufacturing Execution solution directs the flow of materials and work throughout the manufacturing process to produce efficient, error-free results.

Fulfilling consumer demand – one component at a time
Consumers are requesting more and more highly individualized and customized products, especially in complex industries such as automotive and electronics. This global trend challenges manufacturers as all types of products are increasingly made to order. More |
| Sequence Delivery |
Synchronizing production and logistics for lower cost, agile operations
Build to order manufacturing environments require the correct materials, components or ingredients be delivered directly to the assembly line in the right configuration and proper sequence, arriving at the exact time a matched vehicle or component passes the point of fit (POF) on the line. Obviously, not a trivial task. More |
| Error Proofing / Traceability |
Getting it right the first time
With the increasing number of products being manufactured build-to-order, and the high cost of error correction or recall downstream, error proofing at the point of manufacture is more important than ever. More |
| Food Processing |
Providing the ingredients for success
Perhaps more than in any other industry, the lines between production and distribution are blurred in the food industry. With limited shelf-life, food processing must be closely matched to demand and distribution processes to limit waste and spoilage without losing top-line revenue. More |

Orchestrating Production
With customers demanding ever more customized and personalized products, manufacturing execution in many industries has evolved from a make-to-stock production environment to much more of a massive job shop – where the controlling element is more work orders than production schedules. More |
