Overview
The ERP system that stands at the core of your manufacturing business does many things well, but finite-capacity scheduling probably isn’t one of them. Siemens Opcenter APS Advanced Scheduling balances demand with capacity while driving costs down. Your production control team can leverage the software’s scheduling algorithms to meet customer demand, reduce operating costs, increase utilization and lower inventory.
The mathematical engine in Siemens Opcenter APS quickly calculates and analyzes baseline production schedules that respect all of your facility’s workstation constraints and business rules, and its drag-and-drop interface empowers the production control team to make any desired changes on a case-by-case basis. Also, prior to publishing a schedule to the shop floor, your production control team can evaluate multiple what-if scenarios in order to select the one that will achieve optimum results.
