Just-in-sequence delivery, no line-stop penalties.

Mixed-model lines run thousands of variants against OEM release schedules that change by the hour, where one missed just-in-sequence window stops a customer line. Zentio keeps a live model of every machine, line and lot, sequencing to minimise changeover and rescheduling the instant a release or supply signal shifts.

[01] Impact
Line capacity
30%

More line capacity recovered through changeover-minimised sequencing across mixed-model lines.

Sequence adherence
99.6%

Just-in-sequence delivery adherence held by automated rescheduling when OEM call-offs shift.

Planning effort
90%

Less manual planning effort as the live twin keeps master data and routings current.

[02] Challenges & solutions
Challenges
Sequence-dependent changeovers

On mixed-model lines the order of variants drives setup time, so a poor sequence burns hours of capacity in tooling and changeovers.

Just-in-sequence pressure

OEM call-offs demand delivery in exact build order within tight windows, and a single late sequence can halt the customer assembly line.

Capacity contention across programs

Several OEM programs compete for the same lines at once, so loading one program by hand quietly starves another and pushes its call-off late.

How Zentio helps
Changeover-minimised sequencing

Zentio orders the run to group setup-similar variants, recovering line hours lost to avoidable tooling and changeover time.

Call-off-driven rescheduling

Live release changes re-optimise the schedule automatically so just-in-sequence windows are protected before they slip.

Finite-capacity scheduling

Zentio schedules every program against the real capacity of each shared line at once, loading priority orders first so a critical call-off is never starved by lower-priority work.
