Assembly Changeover Optimizer
From a work-order spreadsheet to an optimised, changeover-minimised schedule in minutes.
Modules / 01
High-mix assembly
“In what order should this week’s work orders run so the line spends the most time producing and the least time changing over?”
Available module
Any high-mix assembly line — consumer electronics, appliances, precision instruments — faces the same problem: every model and variant needs its own fixtures, components and operator skill, and the possible sequences for a week’s orders run into the millions. The Changeover Optimizer models the line, its work orders and the setup relationship between every pair of products, simulates candidate sequences and searches for the one that cuts changeover time while still meeting due dates.
Capabilities
Drop in the work-order spreadsheet; it is parsed automatically and a changeover-minimised schedule is generated in minutes.
Sequencing respects tooling families, line capacity and per-line movement rules, not just due dates.
Reorder or reassign work orders and watch changeovers recalculate instantly.
The dashboard converts avoided changeovers and recovered downtime into a money figure planners can defend.
Plain-language questions answered from the schedule’s own numbers — output, changeovers, utilisation, spare capacity — never from a generic model.
Excel, JSON and PowerPoint exports; plant-head, planner and viewer roles; simulation history for comparison.
