Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS)
Plan with confidence. Schedule with precision.
Codeno APS gives manufacturers real‑time, constraint‑aware planning and finite scheduling—so every order, machine, and shift works together.
What is an APS?
APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling) is smart software that creates realistic, optimized production plans by considering all your resources (machines, tools, skills, changeovers, materials, calendars) and priorities in real time.
APS combines two distinct activities: Planning and Scheduling. They’re related but not the same, and often confused. Planning sets the direction, Scheduling makes it happen.
How does an APS software help you with production planning and organization?
CODENO APS turns complex planning into clear, realistic schedule.
Better resource utilization
Balance workloads across machines, shifts, and teams by integrating ERP with APS.
Lead times down
Smarter sequencing & fewer bottlenecks.
Higher on-time delivery
Promise dates you can actually keep, based on real capacity and material availability.
Lower inventory & WIP
Plan materials to actual demand, reduce overstocking, and cut tied-up capital.
Easier impact analysis and change management
Simulate disruptions before they hurt.
Utilization higher
Balance loads across machines and shifts.
Typical improvements observed
shorter lead times
higher on-time delivery
less WIP within the first 90 days
higher machine utilization
* compared without having a software planning system
How does the integration between an ERP and an APS system work?
Production never goes exactly as planned. Codeno APS helps you see problems before they happen, adjust in seconds, and keep everything moving — without the constant firefighting.
1. Collect Data
APS gathers information from ERP, MES, and shop floor systems — including orders, BOMs, resources, materials, and constraints.
2. Model Constraints
Understands real limits like machine capacity, labor skills, setups, and material availability.
3. Optimize Schedule
Uses smart algorithms to build the best possible plan for delivery, cost, and efficiency.
4. Execute on the Shop Floor
The system generates clear Gantt charts, dispatch lists, KPIs, and alerts so everyone knows what to do.
5. Replan in Real Time
APS continuously replans when orders change, machines fail, or materials are delayed — keeping the plan realistic and on track.
Key features of CODENO APS that makes the difference
Finite capacity planning → realistic schedules based on machines, labor, tools, and materials.
Smart scheduling → handles changeovers, batch rules, alternate routings.
What-if scenarios → simulate rush orders, breakdowns, or delays in seconds.
Shop-floor visibility → Gantt charts, dispatch lists, mobile and large-screen boards.
Alerts & KPIs → late-risk warnings, bottleneck flags, utilization and OTD metrics.
Integrations → ERP/MES/WMS connectors, APIs, IoT signals, BI exports.
