Siemens Opcenter Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS)
Optimize Production Efficiency, Maximize Resource Utilization, and Adapt with Agility
Advanced Planning and Scheduling for Modern Manufacturing Challenges
Real-time visibility, scenario planning, and dynamic scheduling for smarter manufacturing operations. Siemens Opcenter APS delivers unparalleled precision in production planning and scheduling, enabling manufacturers to dynamically adjust to changes, minimize resource waste, and drive operational efficiency.
The Challenge: Complexity in Modern Manufacturing
Today’s manufacturers face mounting pressure to reduce lead times, optimize resource allocation, and meet fluctuating customer demands. Disconnected systems and static planning tools often fail to adapt to real-time production changes, resulting in delays, inefficiencies, and increased costs.
78% of manufacturing delays are caused by raw material constraints.
45% improvement in workforce efficiency with optimized scheduling.
99.9% production tracking accuracy achieved with real-time scheduling tools.
The Solution: Siemens Opcenter APS
Siemens Opcenter APS bridges the gap between ERP, MES, and PLM systems, enabling manufacturers to dynamically optimize their production schedules.
Real-Time Scheduling
• Adapt to live production data for on-the-fly adjustments.
Streamlined Change Management
• Test multiple production scenarios to identify optimal strategies.
Centralized Data Repository
• Address material, labor, and machine constraints proactively.
