APS Platform Planning

Innovative solution for medium-term and short-term production planning

What is Planning?

APS Platform Planning uses linear programming algorithms and original heuristic algorithms to answer the following questions:

What to produce, considering different production schemes and demand structures
When to produce, considering confirmed delivery dates, target inventory levels, capacity constraints, and volumes
Where to produce, considering inter-facility cooperation, multiple production options, and production specifics

MES

MES

What is it used for?

Demand calculation — calculation and creation of orders to cover customer or internal needs, material allocation
Material volume planning — creation of a volumetric plan by time periods for a resource or group of resources
Order planning — creation of an order-specific plan by time periods for a production line or group of lines

The APS planning platform also includes a sales and operational planning system.
