EZ-MES: Development

Road-Map

Functional Extensions

  • API

    To create an open interface to interact with equipment and or ohter software packages.

  • Equipment Management
    • Equipment reservation by adding reservation records, that will change the state of the Equipment. This becomes more interesting when Planning and Scheduling will be implemented
  • Planning and Scheduling
    • Calculate Schedule based on Work Order due dates and average step times, including Yield and Rework estimates. Average step times, Yield, and Rework information will be stored on the Step Definition and can be dependent on the Part Definition.
    • Match Schedule with actual positions of Parts. Taking into account interchangeability of parts (Travelers are loosely connected to Work Orders, and the system will change the Work Order assignment if it improves the schedule).
    • Recalculation of Links between Travelers to Work Orders and calculation of global priority based on time delay.
    • Equipment reservation. Based on priorities the cues for equipment and future equipment loading can be estimated.
    • Future actions can reserve Equipment for Preventive maintenance. The Future Actions can be used to make 'Hard' reservations on Equipment linked to specific Travelers.
    • Automatic creation of Travelers based on Schedule requirements. Probably first defined as a Future Action. Purchase Orders can be scheduled automatically either triggered by inventory levels or directly from the schedule.
    • Look into Batch size optimization.
    • Definition of alternative routing that can be used for the scheduling and planning
  • 'Future' Actions
    • Planning of General Actions like Inventory Counts, Facility Management etc.
    • Actions that will be initiated by SPC Exceptions.
  • User Management
    • Add Future Actions on Role Management, to change status of Roles if a user did not do her training ensuring qualified labor skills.
    • Add Labor costs to the roles and the users.
  • Quality Control
    • Automatic SPC check after data entries, flag exceptions and generate action request.
    • Nonconformity Management
    • CAPA Corrective Actions Preventive Actions Management (Combine with Future Actions)
    • E-mail notifications
  • Costing
    • Calculation of actual processing time per part, and average processing times
    • Calculation of labor and material costs per part and average for a Part Definition.
    • Full cost reports for parts, including actual labor costs, material costs (including consumables), and equipment costs.

User Interface Extensions

For the user-interface the following extensions are planned:

  • List-box Extension

    Extend the List-box with the following features:

    • Edit Column Header Titles
    • Rearrange Columns
    • Save List-box Settings
  • Form Extensions
    • Configurable Labels
    • Configurable sections to appear of not to appear
  • Reports and Reporting Options
    • Storage of configured Reports
    • Pareto reports on Non Numerical data entries.
