Oprogramowanie do zaawansowanego planowania i harmonogramowania (APS)

Your production, perfectly planned. Accevo APS is advanced planning and scheduling software that works alongside your ERP to build realistic, optimized production schedules – at the push of a button, respecting every real constraint.

Built on GANTTPLAN by DUALIS, our Dürr Group partner: finite capacity scheduling, integrated MRP, interactive Gantt chart and what-if scenarios, in a modern web application.

What is APS (advanced planning and scheduling)?

An APS system is production planning software that schedules manufacturing orders against the resources you actually have: machine capacity, personnel and their qualifications, tools and materials. Unlike ERP or MRP planning, which assumes infinite capacity, APS software applies finite capacity scheduling – so the plan it produces can actually be executed on the shop floor.

APS vs ERP planning: what is the difference?

ERP planning

(SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Infor, Comarch) is built for commercial and material processes. Its scheduling assumes infinite capacity: it tells you what to make and roughly when, without checking whether the machines, people and tools are free.

ERP production planning gives you:

Ręczne wprowadzanie danych, ręczne obliczenia oraz błędy wykryte podczas zatwierdzania partii
Liczba dni poświęconych na kontrolę jakości każdej partii, polegającą na sprawdzeniu każdego wiersza w każdym formularzu
Archiwizacja pomieszczeń wypełnionych segregatorami oraz powolne wyszukiwanie dokumentów podczas audytów
Identyfikowalność odtwarzana ręcznie w przypadku wystąpienia odchylenia lub wycofania produktu z rynku

APS software

takes those rough orders and turns them into a detailed, feasible sequence using finite capacity scheduling and multi-criteria optimization. APS does not replace ERP – it is the planning layer between ERP and MES that makes the plan real.

An APS system adds:

Finite capacity scheduling across machines, personnel, tools and material at once
Multi-criteria optimization: setup costs, throughput time, utilisation, delivery reliability
Interactive Gantt chart with restriction-checked drag-and-drop changes
What-if scenario analysis before you commit to a plan

Key features of Accevo APS software

Everything a planner needs in one web-based advanced planning scheduling system – no client install, accessible from anywhere, with the planner always in control of the automated result.

Generate a feasible, optimized schedule at the push of a button. The engine balances up to seven weighted target criteria – setup costs, production costs, personnel costs, throughput times, capacity utilisation, capital commitment and delivery reliability.

Machines and work centres, personnel with qualifications, production resources and tools, and material – all planned simultaneously, so a plan is never blocked by the one resource nobody checked.

Material availability is planned alongside machines, personnel, tools and capacities. ATP and CTP checks enable reliable delivery-date commitments based on real production constraints, helping planners identify shortages early and create realistic, executable schedules.

Multi-level BOMs are scheduled around the constraint to synchronise multi-stage manufacturing processes across upstream and downstream production stages. This coordinates the order network, minimises total throughput time and keeps work-in-progress down. Bottleneck analysis becomes routine, not detective work.

Confirmations, machine states and order progress flow back from Accevo MES in real time, so the plan reflects what is actually happening – not what was assumed this morning.

Historical planning and shop-floor data are analysed to reveal patterns, deviations and optimisation potential. Predictive models support more realistic process durations, improved delivery-date forecasts and better-informed planning decisions.

Finite Capacity Scheduling & Interactive Gantt Chart

Create transparency across your entire production network and make reliable delivery commitments based on realistic capacity availability. The intuitive planner cockpit combines visual production planning and a graphical planning board, enabling planners to react immediately to disturbances and re-plan within minutes.

Finite capacity scheduling

Every operation is scheduled within the real limits of the resource: machine availability, shift calendars, tooling, qualifications and material. No overbooking, no plans that only work on paper.

Interactive Gantt chart

Drag and drop orders directly on the Gantt chart. Every manual intervention is restriction-checked in real time, so a planner’s local fix can never break a global constraint.

Utilisation & bottleneck views

Switch between order view, resource utilisation and cost allocation. Bottlenecks, idle capacity and late orders are visible at a glance, with drill-down to any work centre or timeframe.

What-if scenario analysis: test the plan before you live it

A rush order lands. A machine goes down. A key operator calls in sick. With scenario mode you simulate the change in seconds, compare plans side by side against your KPIs, and pick the one that costs least – before anything reaches the shop floor. The same capability supports tactical and strategic decisions: capacity investments, shift models, new product introductions. Planning stops being a reaction and becomes a decision.

ERP integration: SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, Infor & more

APS sits between your enterprise systems and the shop floor. Accevo APS integrates with all major ERP systems via REST APIs and dedicated connectors, aligned with the ISA-95 standard for enterprise-to-control integration.

From ERP

Master and transaction data, personnel, work centres, production resources and tools, BOMs, routings and demands flow in from SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, Infor or Comarch – synchronised bidirectionally.

In APS

Planning and optimisation, order sequencing, constraint handling, Gantt chart visualisation and analysis. The optimized schedule is written back to ERP as the committed plan.

From MES

Confirmations, machine states and real-time order progress come back from the shop floor, closing the loop so the next planning run starts from reality rather than assumption.

Benefits: shorter lead times, lower costs

Manufacturers using our APS report the same pattern: planning that used to take two days takes two hours, and the plan that results is cheaper to execute. Where the gains come from:

Bottleneck-oriented sequencing and smooth order flow cut throughput times across the order network, while work-in-progress and capital commitment fall with them.

Realistic, finite-capacity plans plus ATP/CTP checks mean the delivery dates you promise are dates you can keep – and customers notice first.

Optimised sequencing groups similar setups and balances workloads, cutting changeover time and idle labour without anyone rebuilding the plan by hand.

Automation handles the combinatorics; planners handle the exceptions and the judgement calls. New team members can produce a good plan from their first week.

Industries we plan for

APS manufacturing scheduling applies wherever orders, resources and constraints outgrow a spreadsheet. Over 150 international companies plan with the GANTTPLAN engine behind Accevo APS, across more than 1,000 projects.

Żywność, napoje i towary szerokiego spożycia

Planning for freshness, allergen sequencing and ingredient availability, with fast-changing demand and short shelf life driving waste down.

Produkcja dyskretna

High product variety, long setup times and volatile order volumes - the classic case for optimisation-based sequencing and tool-set management.
