Advanced Planning and Scheduling Software


Advanced Planning and Scheduling

For complex planning & scheduling activities - especially those that are heavily constrained or require multi-stage scheduling and frequent re-scheduling - our experience is that most software systems are rigid, with preset objectives, logic, and scope, and which struggle to fit core business requirements and processes. Our Advanced Planning & Scheduling Software (APS) system is flexible enough to handle highly-specific constraints, business rules, and processes, allowing for optimisation of a wide variety of planning & scheduling activities, including:

  • Production-line planning, scheduling, and sequencing
  • Workforce planning and crew rostering
  • Maintenance planning & scheduling
  • Equipment planning & scheduling

Features and benefits of our APS system include:

  • Creating schedules that are optimised for cost, profit, or client-defined objectives (service levels, utilization, etc.)
  • Increased delivery on time and in full (DIFOT)
  • Reduced work-in-progress and finished goods inventory
  • Reduced planning time
  • Dynamically re-optimising around unexpected changes in demand and other events
  • Conducting financial what-if analysis and scenario comparison
  • Setting more than one objective/goal and analysing the trade-offs
  • Centralising the planning and scheduling function across multiple plants
  • Optimising across multiple production stages or steps
  • Evaluating the impact of your business rules, processes, and constraints
  • Seamless connection with your existing databases, MRP/ERP systems, and other enterprise software
