Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) is a digital solution that helps manufacturers to manage production planning and shop floor scheduling. Using advanced algorithms to balance demand and capacity and generate achievable production schedules. The goal is to improve visibility in the supply chain planning, enable faster delivery, higher efficiency, better communication and accelerated cash flow.

You will learn about:

· Generating finite capacity production schedules automatically using capacity and material constraints.

· Creating efficient and executable schedules with advanced Routing, Work/Machine Center, and Production Order constraints.

· Decreasing setup time and increase throughput using order sequencing and grouping.

· Reducing WIP, finished goods inventory, and lead times.

· Adapting rapidly and efficiently to production changes and events.

· Visualizing schedules by Work Center, Machine Center, and Production Order.

Benefits

· Real-time visualizations

· Alerts and KPIs

· Bottleneck and materials management

· “What-if” scenarios and analytics
