Fully integrated with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) product suite, this advanced planning and scheduling (APS) software approaches scheduling from a customer order perspective rather than a manufacturing order perspective. By synchronizing available materials and resources with each customer order, manufacturers have the tools to consistently meet order delivery dates. Real-time "what-if" capabilities allow predetermination of decision impact, such as inserting a high-priority order or scheduling overtime. A capable-to-promise (CTP) function provides real-time promise dates for each customer order. Symix Systems, Inc. 614-523-7344 Circle 480
