Constraint Module

Model your production flow and identify unused potential manufacturing capacity.


By interpreting proven manufacturing theories in a new way, the Constraint module automatically identifies true constraints and – most importantly – drives actionable intelligence to deliver significant improvements in plant performance.

The Constraint suite models a complete production flow and identifies unused potential manufacturing capacity by highlighting head room, bottlenecks and buffer zones.

Identifying and prioritizing your true constraints empowers plant personnel to attack the issues that will lead to the largest throughput gains, while enabling management and staff to make informed decisions that positively affect the bottom line. The easy-to-interpret reports and interfaces provide historical and real-time data to facilitate analysis.
