Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS)
A real-time picture of the shopfloor
SYSPRO Factory Scheduling closes the loop between SYSPRO enterprise resource planning (ERP) and the shopfloor. Offering everything from simple finite scheduling to sophisticated real-time factory planning and shopfloor control, it provides flexible levels of functionality to suit your business. SYSPRO APS integrates with SYSPRO manufacturing modules to create a total solution for monitoring production and effective planning, and to improve your management information (MI). For less complex planning and scheduling, SYSPRO ERP is also fully integrated with Preactor planning software.
For years, manufacturers have been trying to tame the shopfloor and integrate it into an effective system of supply chain management. Whilst factory managers can use scheduling, data capture, monitoring and quality systems, they can never be certain of exerting total control without a complete, real-time picture of shopfloor activity.
SYSPRO APS can ‘see' the shopfloor in real-time because it is linked with data capture tools at the point of manufacture. It provides immediate feedback from the shopfloor so you can maximise productivity in response to new orders, new priorities or machine downtime.
Plus you can use its rapid scheduling and order tracking power to handle volatile changes in demand and pinpoint individual customer preferences in the production schedule. By creating a live picture of the shopfloor, SYSPRO APS allows you to determine lead times, instantly answer ‘what ifs' and feed an order into the production schedule in seconds.
SYSPRO APS gives you confidence in your ability to deliver on increasing customer demands for a wider variety of product choices while also integrating with your supply chain management, inventory management and distribution systems. The result is better customer service and faster delivery.
