Advanced Planning & Scheduling—
Sage MAS 500 |
Do you have problems scheduling production and
managing resources? Are
orders late because
someone
forgot to schedule an operation? Did you ever
lose a good
customer because production fell
behind their required
deadline?
Sage MAS 500 ERP includes one of the most powerful and
easy-to-use Advanced Planning and
Scheduling (APS)
modules available today. This module uses industry-
standard scheduling rules to
automatically schedule
production based
on advanced algorithms and
mathematical calculations.
System-generated schedules provide a great foundation
but do not take into consideration real-world
concerns. That’s why the APS module includes a drag-and-
drop schedule board.
The schedule board displays all system-generated operation schedules, and it allows supervisors or
production scheduling personnel to tweak the schedule to
fit in high-priority orders or to move
scheduled operations to a different machine when another breaks down. |
 |
APS provides company-wide visibility for production schedules. Your customer service, management,
sales, and other employees have online access to view the status of each customer order. It provides
customer service with tools to quickly find scheduled completion dates across manufacturing facilities. |
|
| |
Features: |
|
Multiple schedule versions may be maintained online. |
|
Use schedule versions to generate specific schedules for each manufacturing facility
and another for the centralized or master schedule. |
|
Multiple versions provide a means for what-if simulations of the schedule. For
example, what if you add another shift on Saturday? |
|
Modify work center, machine, and holiday schedules and availability by version. |
|
| The APS module includes nine different industry-standard scheduling rules,
including: started operations, locked operations, actual before planned, critical
ratio, minimum slack, priority code, required date, due date, and entry date. |
| Schedule rules may be used in any combination providing literally hundreds of
scheduling options. |
| Each production schedule includes user-defined start and stop dates. |
| You can schedule operations backward from required dates or forward from start
dates. |
| Work centers may be coded as infinite, finite, or excluded for scheduling purposes. |
| Work center and machine availability may vary by day. For example, you may
decide to add another shift on Saturday to accommodate increased capacity in the
assembly work center. |
| The schedule board can be customized using schedule board options. This provides
greater flexibility for the visual elements of the schedule board, including operation
patterns, colors, major and minor tick definitions, and more. |
| The APS module can be used to schedule operations against special tooling
constraints such as jigs, molds, dies or CNC attachments. |
| Quickly add new work orders to the schedule board without regenerating the entire
schedule. |
| Use the Find Work Order utility to quickly locate a work order on the schedule
board. |
| Reschedule a specific work order or work order step without totally regenerating
the production schedule. |
