What is Optimumcut-1D ?
Optimumcut-1D is a "Stand-Alone" (1 Dimension) Cutting List Generator & Linear Material Optimization Package which calculates & displays exactly how to obtain the best yield from stock lengths of profile. Subsequently leading to significant savings in materials cost when estimating & ordering materials for Manufacture & Production.
The question is how do you achieve an optimum materials yield using the minimum quantity of materials ?
Optimumcut-1D software allows you to solve that problem, by length nesting of materials, so you can decide how to buy or how to use stocks, obtaining an optimum cutting list in a matter of seconds. You can make economic optimization if you use different standard lengths with different costs per length.
When Do I Need to use Linear Material Optimization ?
At Estimating & Sales Stage !
In order to ensure that you have not over estimated materials requirements for a new project...Materials Optimization of your projected material schedules would at estimating & sales stage ensure that your tendered price forwarded is competitive...
At Buying Stage !
Ensure you have not over-ordered materials for a project by Optimizing your project material schedules...By Optimizing Materials at this stage you will ultimately notice a reduction in any of your Stock Holdings...The ultimate solution would be to order your materials requirements to suit each specific project...
At Manufacture & Production Stage !
To ensure you make the optimum use of your materials ordered...Optimize your Materials Schedules & provide understandable graphical cutting lists & bar reference labels to be read in full conjunction with bar referenced assembly drawings...
What can be Optimized ?
Optimized Cutting Lists from Stock Lengths of Materials can be used in the Fabrication of Products from many Industries such as:
Construction Industry: Curtain Walling, Shopfronts, Windows, Doors, Brise Soleil, Louvres, Trickle Ventilators, Structural Steelwork, Pressings, Cladding, Roofing, Fencing, Balustrading etc.
Engineering Industry: Screw Manufacture, Linear Component Manufacture etc
Woodworking Industry: Cabinet Making, Joinery, Furniture
Lumber Industry: Cutting source materials from trees into stock sizes & stock lengths
Home Improvements : Curtain Rail Manufacture, Shelving, Tables, Wardrobes, Doors, Cabinets, Skirting Boards, Flooring etc
The list of Industries & products is almost endless.
To reduce costs & dismiss excess scrap, all of the aforementioned Materials would benefit from materials optimization prior to Ordering & Manufacture.
Summary !
Any size & type of Manufacturer can benefit from linear material optimisation...Different benefits come from its use at different levels...Where one company will benefit from the savings in profile & the attendant lowering of stock holdings...Another will gain from the smoother flow facilitated by the planning element that is part & parcel of linear material optimisation..
User Friendly ?
The program is designed with a user friendly interface, which is easy to understand by all kinds of users.
