Today’s economic and commercial conditions mean that modern methods and techniques are of the essence in production planning and control. A common problem with conventional methods, however, is that they do no more than optimize manufacturing with respect to just one parameter (capacity or material). proALPHA APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling), a new multi-resource and real-time optimization tool, allows you to optimize the utilization of your resources by targeting managerial functions such as adherence to delivery dates, minimum cycle times or the reduction of inventory.

This new tool allows you to optimize all aspects of production planning and scheduling. Delivery date queries, known in short as CTP (capable to promise), provide sales personnel with reliable information, for example about possible delivery dates, as the system takes all orders and resources affected into consideration. This is an invaluable advantage when competing for orders. Reliable information about feasible delivery dates also has a positive effect on the overall manufacturing flow rate, as it significantly reduces the number of orders that have to be deferred. The APS module also offers all functionalities from one single source, ensuring precise planning without the need for complex interfaces.
