A Company´s control system



Comprehensive plant production planning
 

Generally

Headline for the activity described here is Assistance for control and operation efficiency
For every organization in industrial production is the lodestar costs efficiency.
Assistance for that is a control system with high efficiency.

The control system shall have comprehensive intention and purpose for all thinkable information, routines and assistance, as well as manual as automatic, production control.
We should in this matter talk about formal information as well as informal information.
Formal information includes information from signals in the process, reports and in advanced established control routines.
Informal information consists of contacts between personnel for the verbal exchange of information.
Both formal and informal information complement each others.
For efficiency and raw material utilization, the control systems importance is undisputed.
This importance is more important in a large company than a smaller one, so far as market trends and development are concerned.
The company´s comprehensive planning should include one-year short-term plan as well as 5-20 years long-term plan.
Market planning is the basis for production planning for efficiency in the process with reference to capacity and quality.
Planning of the production is the base for a efficiency in the process with reference to capacity and quality.
In company´s with many process-parts, the coordinated planning of production is extremely important volume orders.
Stoptime planning for machinery maintenance is as fundamental as the inflow of rawmaterial.
Unexpected stop and other disturbances should be considered in the planning.
Consequently, company´s comprehensive production planning is a superior instrument in the production level.

The plant comprehensive production-planning.

In a big company with several production units or sectors, central market planning shall send orders and specify  quantity, quality, timetable etc.to different process-parts.
A coordinated production-planning process will be established for all process units on basis of the company´s total production volume as well as specify what should be produced.
That means in the same time that the most possible stop-planning will be executed taking into consideration well-known maintenance-stop and stop in the production during the planed period.
The inflow of rawmaterial as well as the producing sectors,condition is the basis for the planning.
In a production-unit comprising several production-line, the coordination between inflow and sectors is the greatest importance if the production is continuous during twenty-four hours time.
Every disturbance in some aspect of the production-line can otherwise have big consequences in costs.
In processes with high specific consumption of energy, the collected outlet of power from the net is important to minimize just as is the total continuous energy consumption.
The use of modern information systems in control systems, is a great advantage in continuous supervising as well as process-condition as in energy consumption.
This supervising and control of the processes is of greatest weight since the need for profitability will be, in a more competitive environment more and more difficult to fullfill.
Integrated control systems increases the possibilities for reaching efficiency with the resulting increase in production, more even quality and less environmental influence from the lowest possible work in raw material and costs.
