ManSim Inc. has been working with major manufacturers for over 20 years to develop and refine its suite of high speed factory Planning tools. This suite is especially suited to today’s ever changing technology and customer demands of the Semiconductor, Solar and Biomed device industries. ManSim high speed software helps you reveal and solve capacity issues, schedule the shop floor and plan customer orders. All this functionality is based on one factory model, providing continuity across company departments. |

 ManSim X, for fabrication, and TestSim X for test and assembly are used to plan manufacturing capacity and improve factory performance. By first building a model of the manufacturing process, users can try “what ifs” to test productivity improvements and very quickly analyze their impact. ManSim handles re-entrant flows, and TestSim comprehends the complex combinations of testers and handlers possible. Interactions between processes, equipment, operators and products are captured, as well as random events like downtime and equipment maintenance to provide a realistic picture of factory performance. |

Our Production Planners simultaneously optimize manufacturing resources, materials requirements and the order fulfillment process. MS/X Planner focuses on finite capacity production planning in component fabrication; TS/X Planner is used for microelectronics assembly and test.
MS/X and TS/X Planner provide constraint-based production plans, quickly allocating finished goods and WIP to prioritized orders. While determining required start quantities and optimum start schedules, the software also identifies equipment, material and labor constraints.

MS/X AND TS/X OnTime are short interval, finite capacity scheduling tools developed specifically for component manufacture, assembly and test operations. With MS/X and TS/X OnTime, schedulers can use Gantt charts to determine the effect of lot scheduling sequences on equipment utilization. Realtime dispatch lists are generated for each work area and operator to maximize throughput and maintain priorities. |
