APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling)
Advanced Planning and Scheduling
Planning software that considers capacity and material constraints to create optimized production schedules.
Examples
- 01The APS system builds a schedule for 14 machines that respects tool availability, material arrival and operator shifts.
- 02When a large order is added, the planner uses the APS to see which other orders move and whether any due date is missed.
- 03In the daily meeting, the APS shows the three orders at risk, so the team focuses on those instead of the whole list.
