Execution Manager supports the activities performed to execute production. Execution scheduling is more complex in a metals plant than in most other industries: it is a core activity.
Enterprise-level planning systems often do not have the detailed information required to schedule specific production activities, production equipment, or personnel. The CPM@Metals order handling work process takes care of the production planning of orders which are going to be processed in your plant
A core part of CPM@Metals - the ABB CPM suite of solutions for the Metals industry, Execution Manager covers the production operations management activities as defined by ANSI/ISA 95. As a member of the SP95 committee, ABB is committed to supporting standards like ANSI/ISA 95 that are key to enabling collaborative real-time manufacturing operations.
Together with your ERP tool
CPM@Metals works together with an ERP system to form a coherent information system for the production in the enterprise. The overall production plan is maintained in the ERP system and a sub-set of production data relevant for the production area is downloaded to the CPM@Metals system. The updated production list shows production orders that are planned for production in the coming hour(s) and day(s).
