Detailed planning tool solves complex task

Serag Wiessner is a manufacturer of surgical suture material and sterile liquid dosage forms. The ‘Solutions’ division produces standard infusion solutions, liquid and sterile products for wound treatment, numerous special solutions and customized formulations. The majority of products are delivered from stock within a short time. Realizing these requirements as cost-effectively as possible is easier said than done. A highly complex manufacturing process with very specific restrictions has to be planned and controlled for this. A task that can hardly be accomplished by hand due to the large number of influencing factors.

Processes in the ‘Solutions’ segment should therefore be further optimized with the aim of reducing throughput times and inventories to the necessary level while maintaining delivery readiness at a high level of 93%.
