Factory Scheduling APS – Advanced Tool for Production Planning

Elisa IndustrIQ’s sedApta factory scheduling tool is designed to optimize and automate the scheduling of work phases.

Key features and capabilities of system

Resource and Capacity Management: Tools for managing personnel and machine resources as well as capacity.

Production Order Optimization: Automatic scheduling of work phases that considers various priorities, service levels, and target timelines.

Material Management: Material availability is considered in the production plan, and material needs are synchronized with the actual production schedule.

Simulation and Alternative Scenarios: Comparison of alternative production plans through simulations based on key performance indicators.

Benefits

As production volumes fragment and end-product variations increase, the complexity of factory scheduling in production grows.

In many companies, production planning remains a manual task, where ERP tools are often insufficient.

Simulation and evaluation of different alternative plans without an automated tool is virtually impossible

1

Better utilization of production resources

2

Reduction in production lead times

3

More precise timing of material requirements

4

Reduced capital tied up in inventory (materials and WIP)

5

Reduced workload for production planning

6

The tool can be used as a basis for shift planning

The system takes into account setup and changeover times between different products, as well as the skills and required qualifications of personnel resources
