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

B2wise is a cloud-centric platform for supply chain planning and execution, founded on the principles of Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP). By moving away from traditional MRP systems that heavily rely on forecasts, it adopts a pull-based methodology that leverages actual demand, strategic inventory buffers, and adaptive scheduling to ensure a seamless flow of materials and cash. The essential modules of the platform collaborate effectively to mitigate supply chain volatility, manage demand variations, and deliver visual, prioritized planning signals instead of convoluted and error-prone schedules. Additionally, b2wise incorporates AI-driven features, such as its innovative CommWise.AI module, which empowers businesses to create tailored S&OP dashboards, scenario planning boards, and real-time tactical hubs. This capability facilitates swift “what-if” analyses, automated notifications, buffer adjustments, and ongoing alignment between demand and supply, ultimately enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency. Moreover, these advancements ensure that companies can adapt to changing market dynamics more swiftly than ever before.
