Order Nesting

I have the order in hand, now how do I best fill that order? Verticent’s order nesting is the solution!

The challenge becomes how to best utilize existing inventory to satisfy the demand.  Service Centers find that set-up time is greatly reduced and machine utilization increased by consolidating orders wherever possible.  Verticent has worked closely with their customer’s to deliver the most complete workbench to help users optimize long product/plate when defining cut-to-length and determining plate cut patterns.

Utilizing the optimizer empowers your users to have the system help you match material with cut orders.   Companies establish rules and parameters and then Verticent will automatically identify all material that satisfies the customer specification.  Verticent shows what processed material goes with each order as well as remnants to go back to stock and calculates material to be scrapped.

 

 

Verticent provides you this information real-time so that all the guess work goes out of the equation.  Matching inventory with customer demand is one of the key contributors to company profitability.  The last thing you want is people spending time on information that is old or incorrect, only to learn later that the material was already consumed by another demand.
