TriMin Professionals understand how planning and scheduling can impact an organization. Add new products, new customers, "what if scenarios" to name a few, and the demands get even more challenging. TriMin has chosen Thru-Put as its lean (TOC), constraints based planning and scheduling tool. Why Thru-Put? Because it works! TriMin customers using Thru-Put reduce inventories and cycle time, improve manufacturing visibility, increase on-time delivery and are more productive and hence more profitable, driving competitive advantages.

How can Thru-Put work for you?
Thru-Put is a powerful tool for reducing manufacturing cycle time and inventory while improving on-time shipments. Thru-Put uses lean, pull-based software and connects to your existing ERP system. Thru-Put software and other lean efforts work in harmony to improve operational performance.

Thru-Put increases plant capacity with existing resources, reduces production cycle time and inventory, and improves on-time shipments. It connects to existing MRP and ERP backbone systems giving you a planning and scheduling tool that provides great visibility on material, capacity, and labor for improved operational performance and better decision making.

Thru-Put does material and capacity planning simultaneously to provide realistic schedules, plans, and promise dates based on what your plant(s) can actually produce through your bottlenecks and constraints.

Thru-Put uses a lean methodology to "pull" the material through the plant based on demand due dates (customer orders or forecast or both). It works, and the more complex your production process and operations are, and the more variability that exists on the shop floor and with demand, the more
Thru-Put can help.

Planners and buyers use the increased material and capacity visibility and "what-if" capabilities in the software to give them a tool to have a positive and immediate impact on on-time shipments, shorter production cycle times (more throughput), and reduced inventory.

It also provides "what-if" capabilities that enable your team to combine orders with like set-ups, use alternative routings, apply overtime only when and where needed, and outsource (if appropriate) to meet product mix and customer due dates.

Thru-Put seeks one piece continuous flow and dynamically lot-sizes to eliminate material and capacity waste associated with running fixed lot-sizes or fixed kanban quantities. Thru-Put gives you more flexibility to meet customer demand by maximizing production over constraints while dealing with upsets on the shop floor.

Thru-Put as a lean tool provides real value by synchronizing the plant for maximum throughput, very high on-time, and reduced inventory.

Thru-Put provides the visibility and information to make better planning and scheduling decisions. Your company recognizes the business benefits of increased inventory turns and improved customer responsiveness, and more capacity with current resources resulting in increased productivity and profit.
