Style.. Factory

STYLE.. FACTORY

Style.. is a flexible modular management product where the integration of modules enables the management of all business processes, contributing to an immediate return on investment. This is made possible through integrated proactive management that anticipates potential business challenges, allowing for high-performance actions in response to critical events and ensuring immediate responses to customers. Designed for the era of globalization, Style.. handles multi-company, multi-divisional, multi-plant activities in multiple languages. Being entirely web-based, it facilitates business operations anywhere in the world, aligning with the needs of corporate business.

ARTICLE MASTER DATA

- Style.. manages the mold directly within the article master data. In the mold master data, it is possible to associate an image with the design phase, defining the admissibility of the item in relation to finishes, compositions, or variants.
- Style.. allows any variation of the finished product: measurements can be modified, and details can be added within the technical drawing starting from a base image.
- Style.. enables managing details as product variables. Enlarging an area of the parts, applying the desired variant, and dimensioning the new insertion becomes a simple and rational operation.
- Style.. simplifies operations and supports the study and design of the mold.

WORKING CYCLE

- Style.. manages contracts for continuous production and negotiations related to contract presentation, organized according to customer requirements.
- Style.. manages sales using the same operational methods, both internally within the company and through mobile functions.
- Style.. enables balancing and online suggestions for missing products and expected deliveries (A.T.P. – Available to Promise) already at the demand formulation stage (sales order). It also allows production assignment, optionally by customer or by warehouse (Strong or Light), monitoring online the deliveries for each individual order line.

BOX MANAGEMENT

- Style.. enables precise management of transport between different workshops. It is equipped with a module for managing scheduled trips, allowing planners to monitor and account for transport times between the various production phases. The transport module supports multiple logistics modes, such as land, water, etc.
- Style.. manages warehouses across different facilities. The various locations within each warehouse allow real-time monitoring of the different events affecting products (loading dock locations, ready stock locations, transit locations, etc.).
- Style.. supports warehouse mapping. The mapping definition can be customized for Customer Box or Technical Box, allowing goods to be traced within individual boxes before issuing pick lists and guiding the picking route, whether automatic or manual.

TECHNICAL FORM

- Style.. aims to manage design in an integrated way, including Production Cycles, Product Bills of Materials, the Technical Sheet, Production Details, and the BOM Explosion modules. Catalog creation is an integrated function within the design process, eliminating the need for the company to rely on alternative design tools.

PLANNING

- Style.., attentive to the increasingly pressing demands of the industry, enables planning across facilities located in different markets. Planning is carried out using finite capacity techniques, applicable both to internal Work Centers (departments, i.e., structured work centers within company facilities or controlled sites) and external Work Centers (workshops, subcontractors, or suppliers managed through open contracts and defined only upon return to the company).
- Style.. allows simulation by production lines or detailed scheduling on individual machines (e.g., die-casting presses, assembly lines, paint ovens, CNC machines, washing machines, etc.). Planning or simulation, useful for defining a hypothetical production program, can be performed at multiple levels: the Decision Maker can activate different scenarios using the planning of both semi-finished and finished products.
- Style.. optimizes resource planning by controlling current and future component availability (A.T.P.). Already at the order request stage, it can prevent foreseeable delays, optimizing both the planning and scheduling phases.

PRODUCTION

- Style.. simulates planned or hypothetical orders in real time, integrating them with active production orders (program). This functionality provides the planner with a complete overview of what has been simulated, planned, and already launched. Using production cycles, it is possible to simulate the start and end dates of each individual phase and product level.
- Style.. enables planning on production lines, both internal (departments) and external (workshops), allowing an order to be scheduled even without knowing in advance all involved executors (controlled workshops, subcontractors, or internal departments). It also supports the planner in flexible management of external resources.
- Style.. manages the progress of production phases directly at external workshops (see Technical Data section), allowing online monitoring of production status from anywhere in the world.
- Style.. allows distribution of workshop capacities not only based on available hours but also according to the number of pieces to be produced daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Style.. manages the initiation of each planning process based on the coverage of required materials, taking into account both warehouse stock and materials already ordered from suppliers.

WORK ORDERS (WO)

- Style.. controls production capacities. This functionality allows assigning productive capacities to individual resources (internal or external) per production line, expressed in number of pieces, hours, or shifts, based on the company or workshop calendar.
- Style.. enables advancing production phases in two modes: punctual, phase by phase, or automatic, managing multiple phases simultaneously. The latter mode ensures that declared production progresses, guaranteeing that released orders fully utilize the available production capacities.
- Style.. allows online intervention for repositioning production phases. If order analysis highlights anomalies, it is possible to act quickly on each individual phase, modifying its timings or replacing a planned workshop, automatically integrating the new capacity assignments.
- Style.. manages all movements related to shipment creation, using radio-frequency barcode management, web management, and all other integrated functionalities of Style..
