MAST SOFTWARE

MAST provides the modeling system used as the base model in SAIL. MAST offers a roadmap for the transformation from a work order based production system to a production system that utilizes lean manufacturing techniques. The benefits of MAST are twofold. First, MAST provides objective analysis in finding the best solution for lean and flexible operations. The best solution includes a combination of machines, operators, inventory, and processes that work with lean manufacturing. Second, the use of MAST leads to a smooth transition from implementation to execution according to the operating plan. MAST models are exported to SAIL as the backbone for monitoring and scheduling the operation. In essence, MAST provides an easy to use modeling tool to design and plan lean manufacturing operation.
