Overview:
Advanced Planning and Scheduling is the technology of scheduling manufacturing operations so as to recognize both finite capacity in the factory, as well as material planning requirements of the firm. Advanced Scheduling will recognize realistic definitions of capacity. Advanced Scheduling also implies the accurate modeling of production operations, including constraints of multiple-resources like tooling and specialized labor. It also supports optimization of bottleneck work centers by sequencing operations, in order to maximize efficiency, by minimizing the number of setup changeovers. Advanced Planning recognizes material constraints which include on-hand inventories, pending deliveries, and the process of material allocation. Advanced Planning will recognize material allocations suggested by ERP, or will dynamically manage allocations of material according to user-defined scheduling rules. The concept of simultaneous recognition of both capacity and material constraints is a significant advance in the classical MRP/ERP manufacturing planning cycle. Advanced Planning and Scheduling can also suggest the most effective ways to relax constraints on capacity as well as materials. These suggestions include overtime, adding stations, expediting deliveries, and re-sequencing operations. Where capacity is most critical, inventory of short lead-time materials can be optimized by synchronizing deliveries to the finite scheduling of shop capacity, when the shop actually needs... | |
