Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS)

It is a system that automates the scheduling of production orders based on various goals and constraints. It optimizes the plan to provide accurate delivery date proposals to customers and increase customer satisfaction. Below are some of the advantages and features of APS, but in general, you can understand that APS acts like an add-on to your existing ERP system and workflow to assist with your daily planning challenges.

When APS is fully implemented, you will be able to plan automatically or manually.

Some crisis scenarios such as:

• Unexpected Breakdowns
• Changes in Priority Orders
• Order Cancellations
• Employee Shortages
• Overtime Shifts or Supplier Delays

In such cases, APS can help you reschedule within minutes without requiring much effort from other departments.

If your company has more organization (for example: team, molding, assembly, etc.), APS will automatically perform cross-scheduling.

APS is a unique solution, tailored to your specifications, that requires minimal interaction, allowing you to focus on other priority tasks. Therefore, it is designed to handle even the most complex productions with ease, but it can also handle less complex ones effectively.

If you think your production is highly complex, unique, and specific, there is no need to worry. APS stands out precisely at this point with possible combinations of other modules.
