APS
Advanced Planning and Scheduling
APS - Advanced Planning and Scheduling is a unique platform that allows manufacturing companies to plan production, both in the medium/long term (Planning) and in the short term (Scheduling). This process allows to know both the necessary material resources (materials and components) via MRP, and the operating resources (machines and men) required for the process, optimise them, reduce lead times and respect delivery dates to the customer, improving significantly the level of customer response.
Delfy sa partners with APS, one of the world's most advanced and recognised tools for intuitiveness of use, speed of simulation, execution, response, ease of integration and configurability.

Why APS?
An APS system provides complete visibility over all operational processes in the supply chain, i.e. it allows efficient and rapid production planning and significant improvements in terms of production efficiency and flexibility, resulting in enhanced company performance and market competitiveness.
Significant reduction of direct and indirect production costs
Increase of the customer service level
Significant increase of production efficency
More effective management of suppliers and subcontractors
The APS platform, through algorithms customised to the company's production model, simulates in few seconds the entire complexity of the supply chain, allowing the most efficient and high-performance production plans to be quickly identified, reducing time, costs and waste.
