Who (doesn't) need PHC?

APS systems, the acronym that characterizes advanced production planning and scheduling systems, have proven results in various industrial segments. The gains are generally expressed in better compliance with delivery deadlines, reduced inventories and improved productivity. Assess whether these characteristics are in line with your company's situation. The more positive responses you get, the more suitable the tool is for your business, even if it doesn't apply to all cases.

1. Delivery times fluctuate significantly depending on the production situation and the order backlog;
2. Demand is difficult to predict, production performance is variable and the need for scheduling and rescheduling is constant;
3. Production scheduling requires fine synchronization with the availability of raw materials;
4. Production suffers from urgent orders, cancellations and changes in demand;
5. Order sequencing affects setup losses and productivity;
6. Production capacity is limited by constraints such as equipment, manpower and special tools;
7. The production flow is complex and the high variety of products makes it difficult to control through visual management alone.
