企業挑戰
PACCAR’s extensive product portfolio demands a robust Production Planning and Scheduling system to precisely match its complex operations with shifting global demand. PACCAR must schedule the manufacture of a range of customized, engineer-to-order vehicles across its worldwide operations — while considering the complexity of various product attributes, process constraints, assembly flows and production rules.
解決方案
PACCAR relies on Blue Yonder to implement Production Planning and Scheduling across its global manufacturing operations, spanning five countries and two continents. With modules for order slotting, order sequencing and detailed scheduling, Blue Yonder Production Planning and Scheduling is designed to deliver the operational flexibility PACCAR requires in today’s volatile automotive marketplace. This solution enables PACCAR to replan production as quickly as conditions change on both the demand and supply sides.
“The long-term collaboration with the Blue Yonder team, has been marked by continuous improvement and mutual success, with PACCAR consistently achieving its production goals thanks to the robust capabilities of the Blue Yonder Production Planning and Scheduling.”

PACCAR 如何現代化其端到端的全球物流作業
提供營運彈性—業界當務之急
與所有汽車業與重型卡車製造商一樣，PACCAR 面臨著嚴峻的挑戰。其必須在較長的交貨期、頻繁的供應鏈中斷（例如原料短缺）與配送速度以及可靠性之間取得平衡。此外，儘管需求尚未確定，且車輛個人化的需求與日俱增，但仍必須實現獲利能力。應對這些挑戰的關鍵，正是善用營運的靈活性。
然而，汽車業生產並非專為靈活性與敏捷性而設計。在排程客戶訂單時，PACCAR 面臨了實際的挑戰，例如複雜的訂單設定、多樣化的工廠需求條件、多重組裝線屬性與約束，以及複雜的生產規則。
PACCAR needed a robust Production Planning and Scheduling solution that could transform its operations for increased flexibility, cost control and responsiveness to changing conditions. By ingesting real-time data, the solution would help smooth production by identifying and responding to disruptions on both the demand and supply sides. The solution would need to integrate seamlessly with PACCAR’s existing IT system for real-time data import and export.
Driven by Data, the Blue Yonder solution Steers Production Toward Market Needs
After a thorough review of various software solutions, PACCAR chose Blue Yonder — to address its need for flexible production scheduling. Blue Yonder Production Planning and Scheduling ingests real-time demand and supply data, then considers multiple order attributes and production constraints as it automatically creates an optimal manufacturing schedule.
Blue Yonder 解決方案在排程、時段分配與訂單排序時，會利用進階最佳化引擎來考量廣泛的數據。其考量了不同的產品設定、工廠能力與生產需求條件。即使是不尋常的情境，例如在某些區域需要額外時間的多色塗裝工作，也能輕鬆處理。該解決方案還能即時監控卡車生產，以確保遵守約束並最佳化組裝工作流程。
如今，PACCAR 可以在快速、可靠的客戶配送與成本效益生產之間取得平衡，充分利用人力、設備器材與其他資源。即使在需求波動的情況下，生產也能更平穩且平衡。隨著條件有所變化，排程可以輕鬆更新與重新規劃，任何問題或約束都會即時標示並著手處理。
PACCAR 與 Blue Yonder 團隊的協作帶來持續改善，今後也將繼續達成生產目標。
