Automotive components (transmission gearboxes, steering linkages, braking calipers) require dozens of sequential operations across CNC turning, heat treatment, precision grinding, and assembly. Multi-level routing models dependencies across work centers, balancing machine loads and eliminating floor queues along the critical path.
Producing precision automotive parts involves multi-stage routing: forging, rough turning, CNC milling, heat treatment, cylindrical grinding, and sub-assembly inspection. A delay at a single shared heat-treatment furnace stalls all downstream assembly lines.
Applying the Theory of Constraints (TOC) ensures factory schedules revolve around primary bottleneck machines. Werkora sequences work orders to keep constraint work centers operating at maximum utilization, minimizing overall manufacturing lead times.
Werkora's routing scheduler evaluates machine calendar maintenance, shift changes, and changeover tooling times to build executable shop-floor dispatch lists that keep work centers balanced.
Werkora equips every shop-floor supervisor, line operator, storekeeper, and accountant with their own dedicated login with plans sized for your operation.
Scheduling production jobs based on actual available machine hours and operator shifts, preventing the assignment of more work than work centers can physically execute.
Subcontracted steps (e.g., induction hardening) are modeled as outside service routing steps, generating automated transit buffers and Rule 55 challans.
