Advanced planning system

Of course there are many planning solutions offered by vendors of MES or APS (advanced planning systems) (see for example S tad tier and Kilger [8]). The great advantage of a simulation based solution is the almost unlimited flexibility... 

To support decision making in supply chains, advanced planning systems (APS) have been developed and successfully applied in industry by several software vendors. Most of these systems rely on some kind of decomposition of planning tasks into software modules as shown in Figures 11.1 and 11.2.

Sales order management deals with order entry, order change, availability check and confirmations to the customer. Availability check as a concept and as part of Advanced Planning Systems (APS) is also summarized under the term Available-To-Promise (Kilger/Schneeweiss 2004 Pibemick 2005). The availability has to be checked against the sales plan as stable framework for the overall period and the physically available material at the specific point in time.

Quadrant III. In this quadrant, volume is low and demand error is low. Efficiency in this supply chain can be achieved through advanced planning systems (APS) that utilize the TOC logic. Through the use of the software, these lower volume items can be combined with higher volume product cycles to reduce the impact of constraints and decrease the impact of cycle stock on inventory carrying costs.
