Reduction of rescheduling interval for a production management software package

Have you ever imagined considerably higher disk performance for improving your service efficiency?

For such problems, NEC Storage can offer solutions such as presented in this case example.

Consultation Problems prior to implementation
Because the system installed with conventional production management package software requires 8 hours for rescheduling, only once a week rescheduling is allowed. In order to improve the efficiency of parts stock handling and product deliveries, daily rescheduling is desired. Furthermore, less than one hour of rescheduling time is desired.

Consultation Solutions and effects

  • While it is important to use a high-speed server CPU, implementing an external storage device capable of high-speed data access is also necessary. It is considered optimum to offer an NEC Storage S2000 series system that is equipped with fibre channel interfaces to provide high-speed access capability.
  • Rescheduling time was measured by implementing an actual system using the customer's actual data in order to see if the customer requirements could be met. As a result, rescheduling was completed within an hour, satisfying the customer's requirements.
  • NEC Storage DynamicDataReplication was used for realizing backup operations with minimum system interruptions.
