Critical manufacturing needs defensible schedules — not spreadsheet confidence.
Every schedule change must be traceable, reviewable, and repeatable. RippleFlo brings audit-grade DES simulation to environments where a missed commitment has contractual and regulatory stakes.
Executes plans. Can't defend decisions.
ERP is the system of record. But when QA asks why a release date moved, reconstructing the decision from spreadsheets and batch records takes days — if it's possible at all.
- No simulation archive — can't replay why a decision was made
- Schedule changes published without blast-preview evidence
- Ripple effects across shared equipment invisible until late
- Audit requests require manual reconstruction across systems
Evidence before commitment.
Plan, simulate, trace, and publish with simulation history, commitment diff, deterministic replay, and pre-commit blast preview — the rigor regulated environments require.
- 100% of schedule changes captured in audit log
- Pre-commit blast preview before any publication
- Deterministic replay of any historical scenario
- Pegging tree from commitment back to root cause
Critical manufacturing — ERP vs RippleFlo
| Dimension | ERP / MES | RippleFlo |
|---|---|---|
| Decision evidence | Batch records & notes | Simulation archive + replay |
| Schedule publish | Publish and hope | Pre-commit blast preview |
| Change attribution | Manual investigation | Pegging tree export |
| Ripple visibility | Discovered late | Per-commitment severity scoring |
| Audit response | Days to reconstruct | Minutes to replay |
| Equipment failure | Post-event log | Injected in DES first |
| Role review | Email chains | Role-aware change preview |
| What-if cost | Change live plant | Re-run model — zero risk |
Watch a critical manufacturing ripple get traced to root cause.
Machine down. Commitments slip. Audit trail captures every step — before customer or regulator asks.
How RippleFlo solves what ERP cannot in critical manufacturing.
Regulated and high-stakes environments need simulation-backed, defensible schedules.
Audit-grade traceability
Every schedule decision, simulation run, and replan archived with export.
Validate before you commit
Pre-commit blast preview shows which lots and promises shift.
Deterministic replay
Re-run any historical scenario with identical inputs.
Earlier-than-human alerts
Amber and red warnings days before a slip becomes a missed commitment.
Alternate-route resilience
Qualified alternates found automatically when primary equipment is down.
Pegging tree export
Commitment → lot → operation → root cause for review.
One machine down. Five commitments. Five audit-ready traces.
ERP logs the downtime after the fact. RippleFlo captures the simulation, the ripple trace, the commitment diff, and the replay ID — before QA publishes the change.
- Simulation history with station metrics and event traces
- Commitment diff for every schedule publication
- Deterministic replay in minutes — not days of reconstruction
