| It’s a fact of life that manufacturers who mix, blend, brew, cook, react, or distill face different scheduling challenges from those in other industries—challenges that aren’t met by conventional ERP planning software or assembly-based scheduling systems. Infor™ SCM Advanced Scheduler is a sophisticated, constraint-based scheduling solution that addresses these differences, including the real-world challenges of managing the capacity of vessels, tanks, and lines—and the flow of product between them.
Advanced Scheduler deals with recipes, by-products, co-products, and yield losses and is unique in its ability to manage the constraints of tank and silo capacity and the flow of product between them including shelf-life, maturation times, storage restrictions, and overlapping processes. Such considerations are all taken into account to ensure your products are scheduled in the most efficient, timely, and profitable manner that meets customer demand.
Customers who have implemented Infor10 Advanced Scheduling have benefited from bottom-line improvements including:
- Increased on-time delivery performance by up to 5%
