Whether you’re looking to reduce production set up and waiting time, balance demand and capacity, or simply to track and optimise production planning and scheduling, Opcenter APS (formerly Preactor) can help.

The software can help answer questions such as:

– Planning
What to make?
When to make?
How much to make?
Where to make?
Required materials and resources

– Scheduling
How best to make
Sequencing
Synchronisation
Priorities, constraints and conflicts
