Compilation of optimal plan and scheduling of production based on actual availability of considered resources using advanced genetic algorithms.
Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) provides comprehensive preparation of production orders, aiming to find the optimal distribution of production operations.
The optimized production plan respects given constraints such as deadlines, connection between operations, availability of resources, etc. If necessary, while searching for optimal plan, it is possible to simulate the availability of individual resources over time and monitor their impact on draft schedule. In this way, it is possible to identify bottlenecks or look for other possible optimizations at the level of work organization or material resources (availability of input components, semi-finished products, etc.).
In simulations, all values of production orders can be parameterized, such as required quantity, delivery date, available material resources, staff, order priority, etc., and thus give your employees a powerful tool, thanks to which they are able to prepare and manage production shift with maximum efficiency.
During compilation of schedule, algorithm takes into account current state of production and in cooperation with Maintenance Management module, the plan also includes planned downtimes or individual maintenance requirements. Thanks to this, the APS module works not only with data coming from the business layer (typically from ERP), but also with current and future capacities of the production itself. Generating the optimal schedule thus not only enables the preparation of shift, but also gives you the possibility of effective rescheduling of production even during the current shift.
