OptiProERP’s APS helps manufacturers balance demand, capacity, and constraints to generate achievable production schedules
OptiProERP’s APS enables manufacturers to:
Savings and efficiencies generated by OptiProERP’s APS allow you to recover your investment in a matter of months in most cases
Schedule quickly and accurately to minimize downtime and increase efficiency
25% improvement in plant productivity by minimizing setup, balancing loads, pegging of components and material, and optimizing your production plan
Up to 50% reduction in raw material and WIP stock by optimizing and synchronizing inventory purchases with your production plan
Take all resources, including machines, into account to improve equipment usage and minimize resource downtime
Fast scheduling with an interactive and graphical planning board, for visibility across the organization
80% improvement in on-time deliveries with accurate scheduling for greater customer satisfaction
Use decision tools for better short-term tactical planning with a few weeks planning horizon and detailed sequencing and scheduling, and long-term strategic planning covering months and years
For manufacturers small and large, digitalization is changing everything. Manufacturers of all sizes are needing to react more quickly and intelligently to unforeseen changes, such as supply change disruptions, changes in lead times, and ever-changing customer demands.
OptiProERP’s Advanced Planning and Scheduling is specifically designed to meet this need for small and midsize manufacturers with entry-level Industry 4.0 capabilities:
On the demand side, the solution considers forecasts, long-term orders, and overall demand planning. On the capacity side, it takes into account the availability of resources (machines, labor, tooling, materials, and more) and additional constraints to ensure an accurate model of your environment.
Planning can be executed in finite or infinite capacity mode and planning time periods can be days, weeks, months, or a combination of all three. Detailed production schedule information can be sent back to the production plan.
Simply click and drag, and the production of a particular item can be moved from one planning period to another. Manually interact with the schedule to make changes, save, and digitally push updates to your whole production schedule. Define schedule optimization rules to deal with problems such as minimizing changeover times and preferred sequencing.
Taking your business objectives, forecasts, demand, and capacity constraints into account, the solution determines what and how much to make, where and when to make it, and exactly what materials and resources are required to achieve your optimized and achievable production schedule.
The solution is designed to support decision making about the feasibility and affects to your production as well as major production capacity decisions. It also provides decision-making support for overtime, order prioritization, split production batches, due date negotiation, and order processing.

Work with projected and actual supply chain demand to create production, purchasing, and inventory schedules.
Define total operational capacity based on machines, materials, tooling, and resources available.
Automate purchasing and production to ensure inventory levels are optimized and available when needed.
Forecast inventory demand by sales order, historical sales patterns or to meet minimum stock requirements.
Working backwards, planning engine automatically calculates materials, resources, and capacity needed to complete each step.
Planning engine identifies demand for multi-plant entities, consolidating orders for more efficient procurement.
Explode the planning Bill of Materials (BOM) and calculate the production plan for lower-level items in the same way.
Visualize and interact with your production schedule. Click and drag to move production orders and update production schedules automatically.
Simulate and evaluate multiple ‘what if’ scenarios, impact analysis, and capable-to-promise to support your daily activities.
Quickly assess the affects of future demand changes and if it’s possible to meet new requirements when a change in demand, quantity, or delivery date occurs.
Generate an accurate and achievable schedule considering rough cut capacity, target days of stock cover, min and max re-order quantities, and more.
Model various resource constraints including primary, secondary, materials, resources, tooling, labor, and machines.
Implement custom rules about how materials are consumed to ensure sub-assemblies and raw materials are used according to business rules.
Define schedule optimization rules to deal with problems such as minimizing changeover times, WIP, and stock levels.
Create order-based schedules and apply a ranking or weighting to prioritize orders based on resources available and additional constraints.
Trace and manage changes, costs, delays, and more.
Configure your planning and scheduling engine to your needs with one of the most customizable solutions on the market.
Run quickly and intelligently with best practice reports and alerts already configured out-of-the-box.
