APS Spotlight Advanced Planning Scheduling System
deliver a timely 4-simulation production planning proposal
APS The brain of production Advanced Planning Scheduling (APS)
Industrial 4.0
APS is the fundamental infrastructure system for Industrial 4.0
Implement Spotlight APS System for bettering production schedule
Spotlight APS System integrating both ERP purchase and warehouse data and MES production resources and designated labor forces factors, to simulate as operational four (4) assumptions, timely to generate the best scheduling options at any time, to facilitating the reconciliation between Sales and Production, turns the best outcome for planner.
Product unique customer-oriented value
1
Spotlight APS is the most advanced product adopted and proved by many listed companies, for securing the success of the application, during the Prove of Concept (POC) time, input the real data for confirming the real effectiveness and value, before make the purchase decision.
2
the aps include external oem or outsourced factory factor for overall calculation, without complicated routing table data, then can generate maximized planning and scheduling information. based on about 75% package-designed comprehensive functions, could shorten the implementing time, simulation outcome verification for comparing with real demand before official purchase order of aps system.
3
innovated multiple window information on the screen, such as capacity utilization, raw material shortage details, finished product delivery dates, each machine work load status, etc. also shown by different color for critical information, could be learned quickly by new users.
4
In calculating machine capacity, material, technician, online inspection, multiple production ingredients, APS generates the best planning and scheduling. Also could dynamically reconcile the in-time machine speed changes, for a balanced production planning and scheduling outcome.
5
available to promise(atp)
The APS System has a real time data calculation from the Sales Dept. promised order to Production real operation for meeting the order. Make the Sales people to be more confident for sale order commitment.
6
The APS System could be rescheduling any time or designated time, always could have four (4) simulation output for the planner best evaluation the decision making between Sales and Production teams.
7
Other comprehensive parameters included in the APS System:
我是文字標題要置中保留的文字
1. Overtime / Shift Change / Production support / Outsourcing
2. Balancing among all machine / Seasonal factors consideration
3. Peripheral line to follow main production line factor
4. change over loss calculation
5. transportation time between each machine
6. product spec restriction defined at each machine
7. Available to promise sales order set up

APS could provide different production plan, for re-simulation, comparison the pro and con of each proposal, to figure out the best plan.
Dynamic balance scheduling as the core technology
Thoroughly combing labor force, machine, material, best solution for critical factors
All output information could be cross referable to make sure the correctness
Also could generate the business intelligence (BI) for a in-depth analysis.
APS and MES data is interlinked dynamically
ERP+SCM+APS+MES
The material requirement plan of ERP and production requirement is usually separately calculating, APS links them together.
APS monitor the raw material availability at all time any time.
Algorithm:Limited/ unlimited capacity assumption for choice
Algorithm:Sequential and reverse sequential scheduling
Upper round circles show can meet the shipping schedule
Lower round circles predict short of material
From the shortage of material could handle in advance
Also through APS can see the clear picture of work load of production line
Also APS can help to evaluate manpower situation
