Thinker is being launched to be the best and most suitable System in the world to plan Manufacturing activities in the Make-to-Order Production environments. For this, its structure and its processes are totally based on innovation, providing differentiators, which are essential for its operation.

Thus, in addition to the already mentioned in the "Innovation" menu of MR-Premium Project, we highlight below some new differentiators of innovation in Thinker, indispensable when creating fully optimized Production Plans, which will - in fact - provide real efficacy in Manufacturing Management.

Please see the main differentiators:

1. Cover all Manufacturing processes with the same efficiency

The only System of Planning, Production and Materials Control in the world to cover all Processes and their Resources, directly and indirectly involved in Manufacturing, including in the Production Plan all the activities of all these processes, already from the confirmation of Customers' Purchase Orders, with the knowledge and intelligence to raise and overcome all the constraints that would normally occur, generating the Production Plan in its best possible optimization condition!

Commercial: Sales

Pipeline control. Receipt of the Request for Quotation, preparation of the Commercial Proposal fully aligned, in terms and deadlines, with the reality of Production, with cognitive learning aiming at the autonomous issuance of optimized and competitive proposals. Receipt of Customer Purchase Order and automatic issuance to Planning of Internal Sales Order.

Planning, Programming and Production Control

Automatic issuance of the Sales Order, Purchase Requisitions for Inputs and Manufacturing Orders for all Processes involved, generating the optimized Production Plan and contemplating the activities of all these processes and their resources. Real-time control of the evolution of these Manufacturing Orders, making continuous and necessary reprogramming in an autonomous way, always updated, optimized and with the inclusion of new orders, taking advantage of all their cognitive learning.

Commercial: Purchases

Inclusion of Purchasing activities and their resources in the Production Plan. Automatic issuance and chaining of the Requisitions of Purchase for Inputs and Tooling in the Production Plan. Automatic issuance of quotations requests with the registered Suppliers, treating the raw material plates in their 3 dimensions. Issuance of Purchase Orders, follow-up and receiving. Cognitive learning of all commercial transactions, proposing and implementing those that will be most competitive, always aiming at optimizing costs, deadlines and sustainability with the Partner Suppliers.

Financial

Financial and economic structure for the preparation of Commercial Proposals. Inclusion of the forecast of sales proposals made in Financial Planning, recording in the Accounts Receivable the won proposals (Sales); in Accounts Payable the purchased inputs (Purchases), values that will be confirmed upon the end of these activities. Financial and temporal control of Production Orders and their evolutions, as well as all the costs added to them, aiming at balance or gains in relation to values really sold, that is, total control of costs incurred in relation to those sold.

Engineering of Methods and Processes

Inclusion of the Process Engineering activities and its resources in the Production Plan. Intelligent and rapid registration of Product Structures and Process Sheets, with cognitive learning of all technical and strategic knowledge and information, aiming at the automatic and controlled issuance of these Documents, as the relationships with Customers and Suppliers are intensifying. Through the knowledge of the Product Structures, it will issue the Internal and / or External Manufacturing Requisitions regarding the necessary tooling to each Production Order.

Quality

Inclusion of the Quality Engineering activities and its resources in the Production Plan. Registration of Inspection Routes, with cognitive learning of all technical and strategic knowledge and information, aiming at automatic and controlled issuance of these Documents, as the relationships with Clients and Suppliers are intensifying. Through the knowledge of the Product Structures, will issue the Internal and / or External Manufacturing Requisitions regarding the Inspection tooling necessary to each Production Order.

Maintenance

Inclusion by Equipment, Maintenance activities and their resources in the Production Plan. Registration of preventive and predictive maintenance activities, as well as the forecast of corrective maintenance, with cognitive learning of all technical and strategic knowledge and information, aiming at the automatic and controlled issuance of these documents.

Logistic

Inclusion of Logistics activities and its resources in the Production Plan. Emission of the Requisitions of Inventory, of raw material and parts preparation and handling, referring to the necessary inputs to the Production (purchased or possible leftovers in the inventory). Monitoring the flow of Production Plan by providing those involved in the handling and production with a complete "kanban" map of the routes through which the raw material must flow throughout the Production Plan: where it comes from and where it goes, until to final operation, creating synergy and continuous flow of materials. Automatic registration of the closure of the Production Order, upon registration of the completion of its last inspection operation. Automatic release for Invoice issuance, confirming the respective amount receivable, in the Financial.

Production

Inclusion of all Production Orders in the Production Plan, in the most optimized way possible, interconnected and linked with all other Manufacturing Orders, oriented to the following processes: Planning, Procurement, Process Engineering and Quality, Maintenance and Logistics, all controlled by the Financial module and according to the innovative competencies of the AOI Module (Automatic Optimization Intelligence), described below.

2. Generate maximum optimization in Production Plans, by module A.O.I.!

The main and indispensable competency with which the Thinker System is being able to operate in the manufacturing environments of the Make-to-Order Production Industry will be to optimize the Production Plan in all its schedules, deadlines and costs to the best conditions possible, always keeping them below their values, maximizing the use of available resources, obtaining maximum quality and maximizing profits!

It is do more, with less, in less time, with maximum quality!

Thinker is the only system in the world that, through its competent data structure and deep learning cognitive intelligence, it is able to absorb, process and continuously learn all the human knowledge necessary for its efficient operation, and through its main unprecedented differentiator - the Automatic Optimization Intelligence (AOI), a routine created under our own know-how - will implement quickly, automatically and autonomously (without the need for constant human supervision for decisions), maximum optimization in the Production Plan of Industry, in all its schedules, optimizing in the best possible way, the most suitable indexers to the Plan (such as delivery terms, costs, time cycles, etc.). In order to reach this, it - whenever necessary - create all the alternatives Product or Service Structures and the Process Sheets for all Production Orders involved, raising and overriding all constraints before they even occur, eliminating the possibility that above indexers are hampered, "maximizing" the productivity!

Learn more about A.O.I. in the menu above "Practical results"

3. Operate on different technologies

With a cadastral structure oriented to the resources and processes involved, capable of absorbing - through customized parametrizations - the human technical knowledge about several technologies in which Make-to-Order Production Industries operate, such as machining, injection, assembly, etc., with conventional or CNC equipments, so that its cognitive intelligence learns the knowledge necessary to generate optimized Production Plans in terms of deadlines, costs and effective use of the resources available to manufacturing.

4. Interacting in an easy way with Users and Processes

All activities involving analysis and decision can be pre-configured in Thinker, so that it can execute them with sufficient knowledge and autonomy, in the best "real time" possible. This reality will be totally perceived by the Users.

Activities that require Users interaction - such as menu comprehension, sequencing of operation, registering, elaboration of the Product Structures (PS) and the original Process Sheets (PS), they will be also accomplished in didactic, facilitated and instructed ways, enjoying the shortest time and the supervision of the Users, thus guaranteeing the speed and completeness of all their processing and understanding by them. The Thinker's cognitive skills make part of these tasks, such as the elaboration of the original PSs and PSs, can be elaborated in an autonomous way, earning a precious time in the Sales and Engineering process.

So, Managers will be able to get real-time information from all evolution of the Production Plan, thanks to Thinker's ability to analyze, decide and inform in automatic and autonomous forms, will no longer be constrained to be overridden by the decision of managers, but constraints that have already been analyzed and correctly supplanted by Thinker!

5. Consider up to 3D the inputs for production

Aiming at drastic cost reductions in Budgets and Production Orders, Thinker is also able to calculate the cutting and the use of three-dimensional raw materials, enabling the planning and optimized use of these inputs

6. Operate in the Production Control activity - ISA / 95

As the Production Plans are having their evolutions of their activities in Production (the planned activities are being carried out), it is necessary that the data of these evolutions be registered in Thinker.

This is one of its functions: receive the recording of data collections by its Production Control module, aiming at continuous reprogramming!

Regarding levels of automation, this activity can be performed through several automation options of this collection, which will depend exclusively on the choice of Customers, according to their possibilities and their resources automation levels. Their interfaces will be planned according to ANSI / ISA-95

7. In the evolution of the current management concepts

Thinker is promoting evolution in management concepts, as it also take into account, with innovation, the premises of the main and most important global concepts of manufacturing management: MR-PII (Manufacturing Resources Planning), TOC (Theory of Constraints), Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), SCM (Supply Chain Management) and Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI), collecting and analyzing manufacturing related data from various sources, making decisions for the effective performance of Production.

It provide too environments, activities and results aligned with Lean Manufacturing techniques, Six Sigma, 5S, House Keeping, Kanban, TPM, OEE.

8. In the integration of the involved processes

WITH THINKER, THE MANUFACTURING OF YOUR INDUSTRY WILL BE AN ORGANISM ONLY
