Asprova Software for AI-Enabled Production Scheduling and Supply Chain Management.

“Think Ahead, Act on Time”—The schedulers’ ability to “look into the future” and identify what must be done in the present, is the underlying principle of our scheduling philosophy. For a scheduler’s view to be holistic and to create a schedule that is realistic and feasible, it must reflect all parameters and restrictions.

Our APS and SCP systems have been planning, scheduling, and controlling processes in the manufacturing industry for 30 years. Digital and automated—optimized from start to finish.

Our Promise

Asprova Benefits for Your Business

Asprova supports you in achieving your business goals.

-70 %

Stagnations/WIP

With end-to-end scheduling, our users reduce waiting times between processes significantly and thus reduce work in progress.

-90 %

Scheduling Effort

The automated scheduling run drastically reduces scheduling effort. Schedulers can thus proactively take action against any foreseeable disruptions.

+50 %

Factory Output

The optimal use of bottleneck processes increases factory output considerably. All processes and activities are aligned, increasing productivity.

Production Leadtime

By reducing production leadtime, a significantly higher output is achieved. More business opportunities can therefore be seized.

100 %

On-Time Delivery

Meeting deadlines is the top priority. Mapping the reality in Asprova and rapid rescheduling in the event of disruptions makes production targets realistic.

Inventories

Reducing lead times and scheduling according to the “real” date of demand, sustainably cuts inventory.

CHALLENGES

Are You Facing These Challenges in Your Production Scheduling?

1

Scheduling requires a significant investment of time and resources.

2

Inaccurate scheduling causes late deliveries, overtime, and increased inventory.

3

Many rules and restrictions call for expert knowledge in the scheduling process.

4

Extensive coordination with production is necessary since the actual utilization of capacities is often unclear.

5

Experimenting with trial and error to optimize the scheduling combination for minimal setups.

What You Can Achieve with Asprova APS

Asprova APS automatically creates end-to-end production schedules. This is the basis for detailed scheduling that does not depend on an individual’s specialist knowledge. In addition, over- or understocking between processes can be eliminated.

Optimal Production Scheduling

Flexible scheduling logics can be adapted to various conditions, unlike spreadsheet formulas. As a result, Asprova APS/MS delivers quick and automated scheduling.

Gantt Chart & Load Graph Visualization

You can easily visualize resource allocation, such as assigned processes, equipment, and personnel involved in each step. The system automatically generates a schedule that accounts for inventory fluctuations and highlights potential overproduction or shortages.

Automatically Account for All Restrictions

Order assignment to resources and personnel considers all current properties, rules, and restrictions of products, processes, and resources. Setup times, cleaning tasks, and equipment maintenance are also automatically factored in.

CHOOSING ASPROVA

APS System for Production Scheduling

Production scheduling is the backbone of any manufacturing company. Every department–from sales, R&D, procurement, materials management, warehousing, production, shipping, and maintenance to quality management–operates according to the production schedule to fulfill customer orders just-in-time.

In this context, an APS system, or Advanced Planning and Scheduling System, plays a crucial role. An APS system’s primary function is to synchronize and optimize all your value-adding processes.

There is no greater waste than poorly executed production scheduling. In other words, poor production scheduling leads to:

  • High stagnation between processes.
  • Long lead times due to unsynchronized processes.
  • Misuse of resource capacity through incorrect timing.
  • Excessive inventory levels.

This is why APS software (Advanced Planning and Scheduling Software) is essential to eliminate waste and enable lean processes. Synchronization of all processes can only be achieved through finite capacity planning in an APS, not with an MES, ERP, or spreadsheet. Asprova is your go-to solution for efficient production scheduling.
