Network Dynamics, Inc.

MANUPLAN II decision support software employs reliability theory and astate-of-the-art network of queues theory to obtain rough cut predictionsof performance for manufacturing systems. MANUPLAN II can quicklyevaluate radically different alternatives such as: is it better toorganize the system as a job shop, an FMS, or as group technology cells,or if I authorize a 10 percent reduction in operating hours, what happensto my inventory?MANUPLAN II uses simple input data as specified by the user throughuncomplicated, interactive menus. Outputs include product WIP, flowtime, equipment utilization, and average number of lots waiting at eachwork center. These outputs help to quickly spot bottlenecks and excessresources. A unique feature of MANUPLAN II is the what-ifcharacteristic, which supplies a means to tune options using incrementalchanges to important factors.MANUPLAN II permits the modeling of large manufacturing systems on user-friendly software. Finally, designers, engineers, and managers caneasily and quickly determine those factors that permit more leverage forthe best operation of a manufacturing facility.
