OptPro

Do you aspire to lower operating costs, reduce waste, and minimize changeovers and inventory, all while better serving your customers? Are your plant operations becoming too complex for one or two production schedulers to manage effectively? Does your organization rely on the use of complex, offline spreadsheets to schedule production? Optimized Production Scheduling (OPS) and OptPro may be the answer; it all starts with the right scheduling solution to increase throughput and optimally utilize your valuable assets.

What is OptPro?

OptPro is a sophisticated production scheduling solution developed to specifically address the complexities of scheduling manufacturing operations. While OptPro has a proven track record in the Food Industry, it is broadly applicable and has proven effective in other manufacturing environments. OptPro leverages OptTek’s simulation and optimization engine with a digital twin of your operation; it utilizes powerful algorithmic and analytical techniques to deliver not just good schedules, but truly optimal schedules. Utilize OptPro when worksheets or standard off the shelf software products prove inadequate. Developed by a team of PhD scientists and industrial engineers, OptPro fills a void that currently exists for companies with complex planning and/or operational process scheduling requirements.

Who benefits from OptPro?

• Manufacturing operations that are reaching capacity and want to extract more productivity out of existing assets, while deferring capital expenditures.
• Companies looking to optimize and automate operational process decisions. OptPro enables optimal long-term strategic capacity planning as well as weekly and daily scheduling, and real time re-optimization as demand and production plans change.
• Highly complex manufacturing environments with large product mixes and multiple shared resources. Our optimized production scheduling approach succeeds where off the shelf tools and worksheets have proven insufficient.
