After reading the material in this chapter, you should be able to: To describe the common structure underlying advanced planning system, to explain how planning tasks are supported by APS, to discuss industry specific solutions, discussion on the suitability of software modules, to explain sales and operations planning software modules, how APS helps in collaboration interface, sales and procurement collaboration. | Advances in Supply Chain Management Part 2 Chapter 5 : Structure of Advanced Planning System Lec 10 : Learning Objectives To describe the common structure underlying Advanced Planning System To explain how Planning Tasks are Supported by APS To discuss Industry Specific Solutions Discussion on the Suitability of Software Modules To explain Sales and Operations Planning Software Modules How APS helps in Collaboration Interface Sales and Procurement Collaboration SUMMARY of Last Lecture The importance of a specific planning task may vary with respect to the type of supply chain considered. While some tasks, . lot-sizing or ordering materials, may be extremely difficult (and thus relevant) in one type of SC, they may be quite simple (and therefore negligible in terms of planning) in another type of SC. In order to illustrate this, the two exemplary “SC-types” of the last chapter, consumer goods manufacturing and computer assembly, were explained in detail. APS typically do not support all of the planning tasks that have been identified in previous the lectures. In the remainder of the lectures it will be shown which tasks are actually considered (Part II), how to select and implement APS (Part III), LAYOUT Advanced Planning System (APS) Planning Tasks Supported by APS Industry Specific Solutions Suitability of Software Modules Sales and Operations Planning Software Modules Collaboration Interface of an APS Sales and Procurement Collaboration Advanced Planning System APS have been launched independently by different software companies at different points in time. Nevertheless, a common structure underlying most of the APS can be identified. APS typically consist of several software modules (eventually again comprising several software components),each of them covering a certain range of planning tasks (see Rohde et al. 2000). In the most important tasks of supply chain planning have been introduced and classified in the two dimensions planning | Advances in Supply Chain Management Part 2 Chapter 5 : Structure of Advanced Planning System Lec 10 : Learning Objectives To describe the common structure underlying Advanced Planning System To explain how Planning Tasks are Supported by APS To discuss Industry Specific Solutions Discussion on the Suitability of Software Modules To explain Sales and Operations Planning Software Modules How APS helps in Collaboration Interface Sales and Procurement Collaboration SUMMARY of Last Lecture The importance of a specific planning task may vary with respect to the type of supply chain considered.
