A highly specialized tool, JDA Cold Mill Scheduler addresses the many constraints of steel finishing operations. By providing real-time visibility into shop-floor conditions, the solution helps maximize throughput and productivity. Planners can create feasible execution schedules based on the current order book and actual shop-floor conditions, pinpointing precisely when coils will be ready for various finishing operations.

How does it solve your business challenges?

Traditional planning and scheduling tools fail to address the complexities of the cold mill environment. Processes such as annealing and tempering require the application of unique constraints, so that production can continue without costly interruptions. JDA Cold Mill Scheduler provides you with a global view of manufacturing and finishing operations, applying predetermined rules and constraints to create feasible execution schedules that optimize productivity.

What are the benefits?

Increased throughput and delivery reliability across multiple finishing processes
Enhanced upstream and downstream productivity
Higher profitability via better asset utilization
Greater customer satisfaction levels

Why JDA?

JDA Cold Mill Scheduler is built on a powerful technology framework that features both constraint representation and genetic algorithm-based optimization. Your planners can build interactive models of production that consider a variety of constraints, as well as production characteristics such as width pattern, gauge pattern, capacity, compatible and incompatible state transitions, and groove.
