Proven DBR Software – DBR+™
 |
DBR+™ is a powerful tool to bring the methodology into real-time reality.
Web-based demonstrations are easy to schedule and take about 1 hour. If you are
located outside of the United States, contact us to find an Authorized Service Provider
in your area.
Through proprietary design, DBR+™ allows users to easily MODEL, SCHEDULE and
then easily EXECUTE through a real-time, user friendly web-based format. Additionally,
reporting formats easily facilitate multiple types of CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT activities. |
MODEL DBR in your environment
The manufacturing environment is defined and mapped into DBR+™. Users can
either create the model in DBR+™ or import all manufacturing data from an
existing database. |
Define Buffers for Product "Rope Families"
Rope families are comprised of parts with similar routings and process times. Users
globally set and manage constraint shipping, completion and processing buffers from
these families.

 |
Model and Manage Your Resources
Define multiple constraints. Define calendars per shift and resource. Define resources
including operator capacity. |
Model and Manage Your Parts
Create or import all critical part information. Easy to build, import or manage
routings regardless of number of constraint passes. |

Minimize earlies.
Minimize lates.
Maximize flow.
"Last year, I did not believe that there was such a thing as hidden capacity. My
perspective was that we were very good at what we did. We always were getting incrementally
better and there was no room for significant improvement without additional resources.
In general, due to the implementation of DBR+™, we have been able to increase
throughput and pass a large amount of work through the shop to satisfy past due
needs of our customers. We also have found room to take all new jobs that show up.
Rather than react to each customers’ urgent need for the week, we are able to take
a look at monthly needs, adjust resources and execute a plan."
John Bressoud, Vice President
Turbocam
SCHEDULE to full DBR principles
The Master Scheduler prepares a finite schedule for all constraints based on order
due date, constraint capacities, all buffers and varying rope lengths for product
families.
Powerful "what if" scenarios can be built that include alternate routings and resource
definitions, order compaction and splitting as well as differing priority codes.
EXECUTE DBR in real time
|
Buffer Management Comes Alive in DBR+™
Highly visible and intuitive web-based buffer boards allow the shop floor to see
real-time exactly what the priorities are. Easy point and click capability makes
transacting and reason code collection effortless. With proper security protocols,
web-based buffer boards can be accessed and monitored remotely.
|
|
Clear Signals for Every Resource
Electronic dispatch lists for all resources with point and click drill down capability
for all relevant work order information including notes and hyperlinked files.
Customer Service and Sales can give customers accurate and timely data.
|
|
|
See Capacity Challenges and Opportunities
Resource load graphs for all resources easily point out areas that need help or
have extra capacity to exploit or draw from.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT with DBR+™
The analytics portion of DBR+™ allows management to keep the improvements
coming. Management can easily identify areas, that if improved, will translate directly
to the stability and throughput potential of the system. This type of capability
helps direct and maximize the effectiveness of Lean-Six Sigma activties and capital
investments.
