Using APS with SyteLine
APS offers these capabilities with SyteLine:
- Greater visibility in planning. You get a continuously visible plan for each order, so that every order is aware of the jobs and POs it needs, and every supply is aware of the demand it supports. You also gain new insight into your inventory and your resources (machines, operators, work centers, cell, and facility utilizations).
- “What-if” capabilities that let users determine the impact of decisions. For example, you can insert a high priority order into your current production plan, add overtime hours, or outsource specific components. The system instantly determines which customer orders will be affected and how delivery timeframes will change.
- Ability to freeze a schedule, or freeze a schedule with offset
- Demand predictions for jobs that are configured through CPQ
- Automatic enforcement of Get ATP (Available to Promise) or CTP (Capable to Promise)
