PACCAR drives Production Planning and Scheduling excellence across its global operations

公司案例

PACCAR 是全球领先的优质轻型、中型和重型卡车制造商,旗下拥有 Kenworth、Peterbilt 和 DAF 品牌。其生产业务遍及美国、加拿大、墨西哥、澳大利亚、荷兰、巴西和英国。2023 年,PACCAR 向全球100 个国家/地区的客户交付了创纪录的 204,200 辆汽车,年收入达 350 亿美元。

业务挑战

PACCAR’s extensive product portfolio demands a robust Production Planning and Scheduling system to precisely match its complex operations with shifting global demand. PACCAR must schedule the manufacture of a range of customized, engineer-to-order vehicles across its worldwide operations — while considering the complexity of various product attributes, process constraints, assembly flows and production rules.

解决方案

PACCAR relies on Blue Yonder to implement Production Planning and Scheduling across its global manufacturing operations, spanning five countries and two continents. With modules for order slotting, order sequencing and detailed scheduling, Blue Yonder Production Planning and Scheduling is designed to deliver the operational flexibility PACCAR requires in today’s volatile automotive marketplace. This solution enables PACCAR to replan production as quickly as conditions change on both the demand and supply sides.

“The long-term collaboration with the Blue Yonder team, has been marked by continuous improvement and mutual success, with PACCAR consistently achieving its production goals thanks to the robust capabilities of the Blue Yonder Production Planning and Scheduling.”

PACCAR 如何实现其端到端、全球物流运营的现代化

提供运营灵活性——行业的当务之急
与所有汽车和重型卡车制造商一样,PACCAR 也面临着严峻的挑战。它必须在较长的交付周期和频繁的供应链中断(如材料短缺)与交付速度和可靠性之间取得平衡。它还必须在需求不确定、且汽车个性化需求日益增长的情况下实现盈利。应对这些挑战的关键在于运营的灵活性。

然而,汽车生产并不是为灵活性和敏捷性而设计的。在安排客户订单时,PACCAR面临着实际挑战,例如复杂的订单配置、不同的工厂要求、多个装配线属性和约束条件,以及复杂的生产规则。

PACCAR needed a robust Production Planning and Scheduling solution that could transform its operations for increased flexibility, cost control and responsiveness to changing conditions. By ingesting real-time data, the solution would help smooth production by identifying and responding to disruptions on both the demand and supply sides. The solution would need to integrate seamlessly with PACCAR’s existing IT system for real-time data import and export.

Driven by Data, the Blue Yonder solution Steers Production Toward Market Needs 
After a thorough review of various software solutions, PACCAR chose Blue Yonder — to address its need for flexible production scheduling. Blue Yonder Production Planning and Scheduling ingests real-time demand and supply data, then considers multiple order attributes and production constraints as it automatically creates an optimal manufacturing schedule.

当 Blue Yonder 解决方案对订单进行排程、插槽和排序时,它利用先进的优化引擎来考虑广泛的数据。它考虑到了不同的产品配置、工厂能力和生产要求。即使是一些不常见的情况,比如在某些区域需要额外时间的多色喷漆工作,也能够轻松处理。该解决方案还能实时监控卡车生产,以确保遵守限制条件并优化装配工作流程。

如今,PACCAR 能够在快速、可靠地向客户交付产品的同时,最大化利用劳动力、设备和其他资源,实现经济高效的生产。即使在需求波动的情况下,生产也更加平稳和均衡。随着条件的变化,时间表可以轻松更新和重新规划,任何问题或限制都会被实时标记和解决。

PACCAR 与 Blue Yonder 团队的合作带来了持续改进,并且持续实现其生产目标。
