Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS)
MES + Production
To be competitive today, manufacturers need to do more and more with less and less. Reduce inventory and manufacturing costs without jeopardizing customer service. Planning must focus on customer demand, pulling to the customer due date and synchronizing the flow of material and capacity accordingly.
Scheduling within Infor SyteLine ERP Manufacturing software provides a manufacturing schedule based on the scheduling of events or operations instead of complete jobs and uses the same tables and data as the planning engine. This allows you to:
- Take better advantage of openings in resource schedules
- Provide a more realistic dispatch list for the shop floor
- Synchronize the production schedule to the plan
- Master scheduling to handle production runs where order-by-order production would not be optimal
With the Advanced Planning & Scheduling module of the Infor SyteLine ERP Manufacturing ERP system you will:
Improve customer service and on-time delivery.
Minimize expediting and overtime.
Reduce work-in-process and finished goods inventory.
Compress manufacturing lead-times.
Increase throughput and profit.
