MAST provides a modeling system for manufacturing cells, systems, and lines. It is perfectly suited for flexible manufacturing operations where multiple part numbers are processed on the same machines (cell), multiple operators process the same part (Uline), or robotic or vehicle handling is integrated with machines (Robot or FMS System). MAST uses process data (forecast demand and cycle times) and a layout to determine capacity, work in process (WIP) inventory, number of pallets/fixtures, labor and machine utilization, flow time, and cost per piece for return on investment (ROI) project justification.
