 SWING PPS – with batch size 1 in its sightsIn spite of the fact that being customer-oriented is becoming increasingly important, customisation is a major challenge for many firms. This is because batch size 1 requires a high degree of flexibility in terms of organisation, production, logistics and, in particular, the software that controls them. | | |
SWING PPS is the solution for batch size 1. This is because the issue of variants is already prioritised at the initial design and development stage. Lean basic data management and variant management mean you can manage millions of variants via a basic product that is stored in the system. And as an integrative platform for the entire IT structure, SWING PPS is ready for tailored customisation and integration of special software.
SWING’s functionalities cover just those areas that are often associated with difficulties when it comes to customised manufacture. For instance, as soon as an entry is ordered a check is made as to whether the product can be produced. And with its modular system, SWING PPS can be used to produce specific parts lists and work schedules with exact dimensions, colour schemes etc. There is no longer any need for long descriptive texts. In order to be able to determine the exact price at the time of order, fixed basic prices in the product master record are supplemented with additions and deductions for materials, paints, etc. Another important aspect is the profit margin check. You can also do this at any time for batch size 1 in SWING and have it displayed in graphic format. | | |
