Advanced Planning System: A Prerequisite for Achieving Build-to-Order Environment
주문생산에 필수적인 진보적 생산계획 시스템
Abstract
The manufacturing paradigm has shifted dramatically over the past decade from “push” or mass production mode to “pull” or customer-driven, order-based manufacturing mode, as multitudes of customers now demand mass customization of configurable products. As a means to achieve such rapidly responsive manufacturing system, Advanced Planning System (APS) has become an essential software tool for achieving modern “build-to-order” and “configure-to-order” manufacturing environment. APS enables manufacturers to respond to variety of customer demands In real time by instantly configuring manufacturing processes based on specifications described in each purchase orders and providing capable-to-promise information directly to customer by performing rapid “what-if” manufacturing simulated scenarios. This paper discusses the working of such system as well as the business processes that incorporate such systems to enable efficient “build-to-order” environment.
