Description

The landscape of manufacturing is undergoing a significant transformation due to digitalization, compelling companies to adapt swiftly and smartly to unforeseen shifts while managing reduced lead times and fulfilling customer expectations. This pressure is not exclusive to large corporations; small and medium-sized enterprises also face similar hurdles. To address these challenges, Siemens has developed Opcenter APS (previously known as Preactor APS), which employs sophisticated algorithms to align demand with capacity, thus producing feasible production schedules. These tools are versatile enough to support long-term strategic planning extending over months or years, as well as medium-term tactical planning that spans several weeks, and can also handle intricate sequencing and scheduling tasks. Siemens Opcenter APS is designed for immediate installation and can be tailored as needed, functioning independently for planning and scheduling, while also being compatible for integration with additional software solutions to enhance overall operational efficiency.

Description

It can be used in conjunction with your ERP / MRP, but not as a replacement! Waterloo Manufacturing Software developed TACTIC, a highly customizable, advanced planning and manufacturing scheduling software. TACTIC is suitable for both batch and discrete industry manufacturers. It reduces inventory and supply costs and improves customer service. TACTIC is used by manufacturers to guarantee delivery, plan and schedule production, plan materials and capacity, and deal effectively with problems and changes. TACTIC's advanced scheduling algorithms and what-if options allow management teams to balance what's best for the business with what's best for customers. TACTIC's technical advisors at Waterloo Manufacturing Software offer a variety of pre-sale as well as post-sale services. These services allow you to both assess the technology and gain ever-increasing benefits from its use in your business.
