FCA . In creating a fast , agile supply chain , recognising and managing constraints is a priority for FCA . “ Today , capacity management is our biggest challenge ,” he says . “ With the automotive industry growing the way it has been recently , we ’ re running our plants as hard as we can , which also means we ’ re running our suppliers as hard as they can . So how do we identify those capacity chokepoints as early as possible — and then work to resolve them ? That ’ s really key to our focus these days .” Last year , FCA added order sequencing and slotting capabilities from JDA ’ s manufacturing planning solution to provide even greater precision in managing constraints and maximising production capacity . With built-in optimisers and operating constraints , this JDA solution ensures that order schedules maximise productivity across multiple facilities . Based on specific order requirements such as customer priority , delivery commitments and product features , vehicles are placed into the optimal manufacturing sequence at FCA . Reducing production roadblocks today , JDA technology helps FCA increase its speed and profitability .
