Advanced Planning and Scheduling System(APS)
Sanda’s Advanced Planning and Scheduling system (APS) integrates resources from sales, procurement, warehouse, production, and quality control departments in glass processing factories to provide effective production planning solutions. It dynamically calculates and schedules production output, order areas, and order types for each production line, ensuring on-time delivery, maximizing capacity utilization, reducing inventory buildup, and improving equipment efficiency. APS acts as a central command center, providing real-time visibility of factory operations and generating optimized production schedules.
