Production management consulting and rollout
From planning to operator entry and from subcontracting to actual cost, we analyse your production processes, roll them out on the floor with Nitrogen UTS and run them on the same data as Mikro ERP.
What we usually find
Where most companies start
-
01
Order status is unknown until you walk the floor
You cannot see from the office which work order is at which operation or machine, or what is late.
-
02
Production is on paper and keyed into the ERP at night
Consumption, scrap and output are keyed in at the end of the day, so stock and cost are always behind.
-
03
Downtime reasons and durations are unclear
Why and how long a machine stopped is not recorded, so efficiency discussions rely on gut feeling.
-
04
The actual product cost is unknown
Planned recipe cost cannot be compared with actual consumption, so profitability waits for month end.
Service scope
What we set up with you
We design each area around the way you work and align it with your Mikro ERP records and warehouses.
-
Production planning
We set up product-to-shop plans and line, machine and subcontractor loading by capacity.
-
Work orders and routing
Work orders taken from Mikro or opened in UTS, operation routings, revisions and delay handling.
-
Shop-floor data collection
Start, stop, output, scrap and downtime entry on kiosks, tablets and handhelds, with scale and counting-scale links.
-
Materials and MRP
Just-in-time material planning, batch and location tracking, and barcode-based issue from the warehouse.
-
Subcontracting
Barcode tracking of goods sent to and returned from subcontractors, with their loading and progress.
-
Costing and reporting
Stage-by-stage comparison of planned and actual cost, with efficiency reports by machine and operation.
-
Station queues and bottlenecks
We tie orders to set and station routes; each station only sees work whose previous step is done, and waiting work and bottlenecks are tracked live on the plant dashboard.
-
Set up for your production type
Formula, batch and lot tracking for chemicals and process plants; line and shift flow for line production; work and cost by project, order and phase for project-based production.
How we work
Six steps from discovery to go-live
- 01
On-site discovery
We review your production flow, stations and current recording methods on site.
- 02
Process design
We design routings, stations, downtime reasons and cost structure together with your Mikro records.
- 03
Setup and integration
We install Nitrogen UTS, connect it to Mikro Jump or Fly and configure devices and scales.
- 04
Pilot line
We trial on one line or shop with live data and tune screens and rules from floor feedback.
- 05
Training
We train operators, planners and managers separately by role.
- 06
Rollout and support
We roll out to all lines and read the efficiency and cost reports with you in the first months.
Applications used
On the same data as Mikro ERP
The service is delivered on Nitrogen applications, which work with each other and with Mikro Jump / Fly.
