    Production optimization in proALPHA ERP with advanced planning and scheduling

    In make-to-order and series production, it is crucial to provide the correct tools and the specialists available with the required quantity of material in time. This saves production time and costs. proALPHA therefore plans and optimizes resources according to managerial targets such as delivery reliability and cycle times. Furthermore, employees with different qualification profiles can be scheduled for certain production operations across processes.

    This enables you to plan ahead and immediately react to changes and fluctuations in demand. You can also immediately react to changes and fluctuations in demand. proALPHA takes all the factors relevant to production into consideration to create a flexible, coordinated master plan. Bottlenecks are avoided.

    Multi-resource planning and optimization

    APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) is the core of proALPHA Production. It allows optimized resource planning according to managerial targets such as delivery reliability and cycle times. proALPHA issues warnings in case of bottlenecks or overloads, prioritizes work orders, and suggests alternate resources.

    Realistic production planning with product process models

    proALPHA completely dispenses with bills of materials and routings for production planning and uses product process models instead. The structures of products and processes are no longer tightly linked to each other. This allows versatile production planning in which outsourcing, changes to the schedule and the parallel processing of several orders can be included.

    Resource synchronization

    Product process models enable planners to optimally utilize resources and monitor material, tools, human resources, and deadlines. It is possible to assign any number of resources to an operation, synchronize the availability of these resources, and provide the required material. Finite planning allows manual changes to the sequence in which orders are processed on short notice.

    Identifying and covering long-term demands

    Continuous master production scheduling is used in series production to determine medium-term and long-term demands. MPS defines which products are manufactured in specific planned periods. Long lead parts which are hard to procure can be effortlessly provided thanks to the integrated project management.

    Reliable deadlines

    Feasible delivery dates can be determined from within sales orders in proALPHA. Capable-to-promise checks prevent impossible deadlines from being confirmed, for example, delivery dates requested by sales. Reliable deadlines, however, are communicated to customers early on.
