Application of APS in scheduling in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and chemical industries.
A characteristic feature of the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and chemical industries is the need to combine two stages in the manufacturing process: preparing product batches and then packing them into unit and bulk packaging.
Examples of challenges faced by producers in these industries include:
constraints of material flow paths between machines,
taking into account batch shelf life,
the need for batch control (Lot Control),
avoiding cross-contamination,
optimization of cleaning and changeovers.
How can you effectively create production plans and schedules that are optimal from both a strategic and operational perspective, take these and other needs into account, and at the same time avoid wasting time and resources?
During our webinar, we show which issues (in addition to those already mentioned) can be handled by the APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) system from PlanetTogether – a professional tool that enables fast creation of feasible, optimized production plans and schedules, taking into account large amounts of variables and individual needs.
Selected topics are illustrated with a demonstration of how they are handled in PlanetTogether APS.
