3.4 Automation of the lay planning process and cutting
room operations
The part of the management system coordinating work process in a cutting room is
a cut planning software. It links together enterprise resource planning (ERP), fabric
management system, CAD, and CAM; exchanges information in between these sys-
tems; and creates the best solutions to cut material for manufacturing orders. The most
efficient marker combinations for each production order are calculated automatically,
taking into account the availability of the specific raw materials and the parameters
of the cutting room (table length, cutting equipment, labour, and costs). The software
simulates a range of different planning and manufacturing options for each order to
choose the most suitable one. Alternative planning solutions may be also developed
interactively. All previously created and used planning may be retained and reused
when necessary.
