How an APS solution can help discrete industry manufacturers

Discrete industry is changing. Manufacturers are facing three major pressures:

  • High demand
  • Flexibility
  • Predictivity

These all center around production planning, which is difficult as the number of possible production scenarios is high. Plus, planners must deal with additional challenges. Sales wants on-time deliveries. Production can’t react to outer world changes. Finance only sees the cost of everything.
