| Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) Solutions |
|
Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) technology has blossomed into one of the most important advances in manufacturing. For the first time, manufacturers have planning tools that can absorb vast complexities of information to produce optimal plans. More importantly, APS leverages the planner's knowledge with responsive decision support tools rather than enslaving him with an endless barrage of exception messages.
Infor's Planner produces and maintains a "real-time" production schedule for manufacturing
sites that meets the demands of the supply chain. This planning or scheduling engine uses
requirements such as a master schedule, which is a push strategy, or customer orders,
which is a pull strategy and produces a detailed manufacturing schedule. The schedule is constraint-based and optimized. It also determines time-phased direct material procurement
requirements synchronized to point and time of consumption.
Planner is an Advanced Planning and Scheduling solution with the following high-level features:
 |
It is a multi-site, "In-Ram" (memory-based), constraint-based planning, optimization, and synchronization solution that addresses the planning and scheduling business process for manufacturers and distributors. |
|
|
It utilizes graphical tools and decision support analysis to manage inventory and capacity
resources. |
|
|
It provides simulation capability to reflect management adjustments to resource plans providing timely information that improves decision-making. |
|
|
It minimizes order lateness through optimization of production resources, and focuses the planner or buyer on the reasons why specific orders are late. |
|
|
It generates a feasible and realistic manufacturing plan that does not overstate resource limitations. |
|
|
It determines a "Can-Do" plan based on fixed delivery dates and resource constraints. |
