Today, machine and plant manufacturers are increasingly faced with the challenge of being able to control and optimize their production in an agile and dynamic manner due to advancing digitalization, increasingly individual orders and customer requirements, and global competitive pressure. This challenge can only be mastered with specialized software. The APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) system FELIOS uses intelligent procedures and algorithms to synchronize all production processes and create cross-departmental planning transparency in production, purchasing, design and sales. As a result, short-term or unforeseen orders do not jeopardize on-time delivery and avoid uncertainties in planning.
The right planning tools are especially crucial for companies with complex manufacturing processes. The current ERP systems often ignore the question of when which production steps are to be realistically scheduled with which resources and parts to be procured. Yet the answer to precisely this question is of decisive importance for the shortest possible production cycles with minimum work-in-process inventory and particularly high adherence to schedules.
FELIOS therefore supports a
The software calculates an optimal production plan. In this way, you always have all orders in view. For new orders at short notice, you can quickly and easily simulate a new production plan. With FELIOS, you can plan for possible resource shortages in the medium term and have alternatives ready. In this way, you avoid possible bottlenecks and can deliver on time and avoid penalties.
With FELIOS, we pursue a holistic approach to production planning for machine and plant builders as well as single-item and small-batch manufacturers. The functionalities and modules of our solution are specially adapted to the challenges of the industry and can be individually tailored according to the wishes and needs of the companies.
