Planning Ahead With Opcenter & Sage

If you can answer "Yes" to any of the following then we can help:

Our production plan is in a spreadsheet and it won’t cope with the complexity of our processes or the increasing size of the company.
Customer delivery performance is suffering because we can’t accurately predict when sales orders will be ready.
Our purchasing department know how much material we need, but don’t really know WHEN it is needed. So we tend to have either too much stock or sometimes shortages.
Our MRP keeps telling us to "Bring PO Forward" but we know we can’t. So really we need to move the production jobs back to later dates.

What is Opcenter APS Scheduling?

A graphical planning tool in which we can model your processes and capacity and then work out the best sequence in which to run the jobs.

Enabling you to predict material shortages and late deliveries to customers, whilst there is still time to do something about it.

Then run "What-If" scenarios to test the effects of adding more resources or changing shift patterns.

Schedule forwards, backwards, bi-directional around bottlenecks.

Built in scheduling rules to maximise delivery performance or minimise WIP.

Minimise changeovers using dynamic calculations of sequence dependent setup times.

API for custom scheduling rules and data manipulation.
