TCS Crystallus™ Forward Broadcasting Service

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.

Highlights

30%+

improvement in space utilization with optimal inventory management

100%

availability of material during the manufacturing assembly line

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.
