Based on original and excellent technology, we have developed and offered a high potent scheduling system, PlanWizard, to customers in Japan over ten years since production planners in the job shop complained that they were unable to find any proper scheduling system in the market , even though the most difficult but important part of the production management systems must exist in scheduling, In addition, during our R&D process, we learned to know that in order to optimize the whole factory or company, each manufacturing plan, production schedule, and material plan should be highly linked together. Thus, we incorporated those three systems into one module and launched a new scheduler , APS(Advanced Planning and Scheduling)/PlanWizard. The integration of three functions, manufacturing planning, production scheduling, materials planning, into one execution program brings about a lot of benefits such as neglecting interface configuration between systems, making effective plans without redundant data exchange between systems, executing scheduling at ultrafast rate, dynamically exchanging information within different functions, giving an accurate as well as real time reply for due date. As you see many cases, a combined execution of different systems often results in inaccurate and unworkable production planning because each step of the whole planning procedure is separate, constrained and does not reflect the real workshop due to obsolete information. APS/PlanWizard has a lot of built-in logics particullarly used in the field of manufacturing planning. APS/PlanWizard has grown as a support tool for users seeking for optimization and streamlining of their factories. |
