Thagora Leather ranking and pre-allocation

Supplier ranking

---

Controlling the leather suppliers in terms of both quantity and “nesting quality” might be an important saving source.
Thagora supplier ranking module performs a quick automatic ranking on each hide using the same criteria as the suppliers. A detailed distribution report is generated on each leather batch containing comparative charts between the supplier evaluation and the automatic one.
These information along with detailed reports on each hide represent an useful tool in supplier control.

Features:
- Multiple ranking profiles for different suppliers
- Customizable ranking criteria
- Comparative ranking distribution reports
- Available on all workflows

Comparative evaluations of area distribution per rank

Production ranking and hides pre-allocation

The key factor in leather saving is represented by a high efficiency on each nesting job. However, the main goal is to increase the nesting efficiency on an entire batch of hides. A major factor on achieving this might be a balanced distribution of hides on each nesting job.

Thagora ranking module classifies the hides from a nesting probability point of view using customizable criteria tailored to the production characteristics. The pre-allocation module automatically calculates the required area per rank for each nesting job. Thus the operators are able to pick the optimum quantity of hides from each rank. The result is an increased overall batch nesting efficiency. Also, the risk of remaining with unusable hides at the end of the batch is greatly reduced.

The algorithm which calculates the correct balance of hides on each nesting job takes into consideration 3 key information:

- The current rank distribution in the batch
- The current nesting job difficulty
- The production forecast
