Yes. Scheduling rules can arrange production operations in a sequence that limits unnecessary setups and changeovers. 

Yes. Orders and operations can be distributed across machines, lines, workstations, production cells and process stages. 

Yes. The planning process can use warehouse and material availability data to avoid scheduling orders that cannot be completed because of missing materials. 

Yes. The schedule can be recalculated or adjusted when priorities, order requirements, resource availability or production conditions change. 

Yes. ERP integration can provide information about production orders, required quantities, deadlines, materials and other planning data. 

Yes. MES integration can connect the production schedule with execution data, operation progress and current shop-floor conditions. 

Yes. The system can operate independently or as part of the wider Production Portal environment. 

It is particularly useful in plants where planning involves many orders, resources, dependencies, constraints, priorities or frequent schedule changes. 

Yes. It can replace manual spreadsheet-based scheduling with consistent planning rules, centralized information and a schedule connected with production data. 

Implementation may include production process analysis, planning workshops, definition of scheduling rules, integration with other systems, configuration, testing and user training. 

The process begins with workshops and an analysis of current planning methods, production constraints, resource structures, priorities and expectations regarding the future schedule. 

Yes. explitia.APS is configured around the actual processes, technologies, constraints and production rules of the manufacturing plant.
