SMTA International--Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT),
the worldwide market and technology leader in PCB
design-through-manufacturing software, today announced the Valor®
MSS Business Intelligence (BI) product suite. This new product
allows management of PCB assembly lines to obtain reports and
analysis of the quality, asset utilization and materials management
of their production execution. With this analysis, management can
make intelligence-based decisions, improve their production line
execution, and reduce excess inventories, for lower costs and
improved profits.
“The execution of a complex production line produces extensive
data but this is just data, not intelligence,” stated Dan Hoz,
general manager of the Mentor Graphics® Valor Division. “By
providing analysis of this data, we can give management the
information they need to make better decisions. With small margins
in the manufacturing sector, these decisions can mean the
difference between a manufacturing facility that is running at a
profit or not.”
The Mentor® Valor MSS product suite covers the manufacturing
execution process from line planning, through execution,
traceability, materials management, and test/quality assurance.
Throughout these processes, data is generated and made available to
the business intelligence application for analysis and display
functionality on management’s desktop. The dashboard display
technology is easy to configure and use, and gives management a
user-friendly opportunity to “slice and dice” the raw data to
achieve their desired insight, generate reports, and make
intelligence-based decisions. The business intelligence
functionality comes with more than 30 standard reports as well as
the ability to customize to the specific configurations and needs
of the manufacturing organization.
"Since we take on the toughest projects in the PCB production
industry, the MSS Business Intelligence solution from Mentor
Graphics is helping our factory achieve even higher performance,”
stated Farid Anani, manufacturing manager at Computrol. “We need
immediate access to clear information we can act on and BI provides
this visibility. BI is reducing our time-to-corrective action,
improving our bottom line profits, and enabling us to offer better
service to our customers.”
A simple example of how a manufacturer like Computrol uses the
BI functionality is to compare the quality of different machines on
the line and either correct or replace a less than par machine. It
is very easy to set up comparisons on several different quality
metrics using data such as PCB traceability and failures. This can
lead to process changes or the selection of new capital equipment.
Using the Valor MSS Business Intelligence product, Computrol was
able to easily justify a change in screen printers because of the
clear improvement seen in the quality of products run on screen
printer A vs. screen printer B.
The Business Intelligence product is available now as an option
to the Valor MSS suite of manufacturing execution support products.
