Planning and scheduling software for process manufacturing companies
About Phenix
Phenix planning and scheduling software uses Aligned Product Wheels™ to optimize changeovers and inventory, and align production with the business’s customer service, cost and working capital goals. Schedules determine the sequence and timing of the production of hundreds or thousands of different products across multiple production lines. Correct production sequences minimize changeover costs. Every out of sequence product complicates the changeover and wastes time and money. Correct cycle times balance changeover and inventory costs. Cycles that are too short or too long cause customer service and inventory problems.Volatile demand, erratic supply, and internal plant and staffing problems force schedulers to frequently deviate from plan and reschedule. Phenix product wheels assign product families to lines and optimize the production sequence to minimize changeover loss.
