Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS)
Infor ERP SyteLine Software: Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS)
Advanced planning and scheduling capabilities drive plant operations by synchronizing manufacturing production on a real-time, order-by-order basis. APS planning considers material availability and capacity — leveraging the plan to provide real-time capable-to-promise (CTP) dates to customers. Infor ERP SyteLine scheduling provides a manufacturing schedule based on the scheduling of events or operations instead of complete jobs. This allows the scheduler to take better advantage of openings in resource schedules and ultimately provide a more realistic dispatch list for the shop floor. Infor ERP SyteLine's events-based scheduling engine uses the same tables and data as the planning engine, so there is complete synchronization between the plan and the schedule. Production forecasting and master scheduling handle regular production runs for those situations where unpredictable demand, long lead times, or other complexities don't support real-time, order-by-order production.
APS enables the immediate determination of how new or changed order requirements impact purchasing, production, and delivery. The result is speed, accuracy, and superior customer service.
