APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling)

Advanced Planning and Scheduling

Planning software that considers capacity and material constraints to create optimized production schedules.

Examples

  1. 01The APS system builds a schedule for 14 machines that respects tool availability, material arrival and operator shifts.
  2. 02When a large order is added, the planner uses the APS to see which other orders move and whether any due date is missed.
  3. 03In the daily meeting, the APS shows the three orders at risk, so the team focuses on those instead of the whole list.
