ams.control centre
Lean scheduling and detailed planning with real-time data
The graphical planning tool ams.control centre is an integral part of the order management system ams.erp. Thanks to the seamless ERP integration, the control centre has access to real-time data that fully reflects the current order situation in production. In addition to the machine capacities and shift models, the material availabilities, BOP messages and order changes are also entered into the simulation. The production control centre graphically prepares all planning parameters so that “what-if” scenarios can be easily played out using drag and drop.
If the result of a simulation is not yet satisfactory, for example because there are still late orders, the planner can reset the current simulation and check alternative scenarios. If a simulation is approved at the end of the planning session, ams.erp automatically adjusts the affected deadlines, order BOMs and operations. Using this method, the integrated detailed planning tool produces processes that have no unwanted buffers or wait times. Corporate users can minimise production times and ensure that their products are delivered on time.
