OPTIMISING PRODUCTION WITH AN ADVANCED PLANNING TOOL

Eliminate bottlenecks and optimise workflow with planning

Bring all systems together under one roof

With Slim4’s APS tool, there’s no need for a separate APS system, meaning less maintenance, and more connected data sources.

Quickly visualise new schedules

The APS module’s interactive Gantt chart quickly visualises your production schedule, saving time, and reducing the possibility of errors.

Drag and drop for holistic insights

Any changes to the schedule can be flagged through a drag and drop action, with the impacts of that change immediately applied to the rest of the production outlook.

Feed off data from the work floor

Real-time interfacing allows for continuous updates from production hubs and factory floors, ensuring complete clarity over workflows, and adaptable decisions where necessary.

Handle all tasks optimally

With the latest information on tasks applied to the schedule, you can handle all future tasks optimally. Knowing of any disruptions, shutdowns or labour shortages ahead of time ensures agility in the next phase.

Solve problems automatically

Slim4’s APS module contains an automatic solver, meaning that any disruptions will yield suggestions as well as just insight. No matter what the real-time capability is, you’re guaranteed to be making the best decision possible.
