Introduction

• What do we use QEI for?
• How do we use QEI?
• Why do we use QEI?

3
What do we use QEI for?

• To produce a finite machine shop schedule
• Short time scale typically 1 - 2 weeks
• Progress work through rapidly.
• Stability, despite frequent changes of priority
  and specification.
• Visualise the implications of changes.
• Effectively use machines/resources

4
What do we use QEI for?

• To produce a Rough Cut Capacity Plan (RCCP)
• ensure we are able to achieve the plan before
  release/commitment
• is over a long time scale - typically 1 year.
• identification of bottlenecks
• used in SOP

5
What do we use QEI for?

• To do What if Analysis
• detailed typical schedule to identify problems
• new projects
• development/phase changes
• machine moves
• maintenance

6
How do we use QEI?

• What where the information comes from where
  it goes in QEI
• Routings imported from business system
  (production engineering) into Library
• Templates from Bill of Materials - Library
• Resources and working calendars -Library
• Production orders and planned orders from MRP
  into the working database

How do we use QEI?

• What is done with it in QEI - Finite Schedule
• Routings
• Resource Calendars
• Edit Relationships
• Create Templates
• Colours
• Week Numbers / Race Weekends

How do we use QEI?

• What is done with it in QEI - RCCP
• Database of typical production orders and
  profiles
• Export top level with profile
• Spreadsheet of the plan
• Import top level according to plan
• Layout on bar chart
• Move bars to optimize profiles.

Summary

• QEI at Ilmor is used as
• a Finite Scheduling tool
• a Rough Cut Capacity Planner
• A What if analysis tool for manufacture.
