APPLIED BELL CURVEMANUFACTURING PLANNING
INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

Two industries, modelled in depth.

We build planning systems for industries where the constraints are physical and the margins are thin. Each one is modelled from the machine up before a single plan is generated.

Primary slitter cutting a jumbo roll of film into customer rolls
INDUSTRY · 01

Polyfilms

Film plants running extrusion lines, primary slitting, metallising and secondary slitting. Orders arrive as widths, lengths and core sizes; jumbo rolls come off the line in one width. The plan has to cut one into the other with the least trim and the fewest knife-setting changes.

WHAT WE PLAN AROUND
Jumbo widths, minimum trim and slit positions
Core sizes and core-mix rules
Roll diameter limits and excess length by grade
Primary, metalliser and secondary stages

Terry loom — loop pile forming at the fell
INDUSTRY · 02

Terry Towel

Integrated terry mills running from yarn to finished towel. Every stage has its own bottleneck — dye-lot sizes, beam changes, batch capacity — and a delay at one moves every stage after it.

WHAT WE PLAN AROUND
Yarn dye-lot sizes and shade matching
Loom eligibility and changeovers by type
Dyeing machine capacity and batch compatibility
Order due dates across the full route
