APS production management software solution based on lean production

Today, more than 10 years after the APS solution launches the market, most of the supply chain in a specific location or factory, further enhancing the company's benefits, is more effective in operating the use of lean production practices. But despite these investment and management principles, inventory levels have seen little change in the past few years, even though many companies are trying to "consume" the sluggish economy in demand. The company is still in the efforts of the chain of inventory planning and optimization, area, generally have seen the smallest no improvement, and continue to get bogged down in the supply chain of more efficient, responsive, profitability.

While each industry certainly has its high performance, when you look at the total chain inventory turnover, most companies (including market share leaders) have been unable to maintain or increase inventory performance in supply and demand uncertainty in existence. In the past 4 years inventory changes have opened the company including the top 20 in each industry, according to the company's market value. Data on inventory turnover is the latest http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/24737.html "> Annual report (2001 or 2002) compared to the reported data for 4 years. Source: 2003.

At the end of 2001, management consulting firm Bain conducted a research project in the world's largest manufacturing and retail enterprise supply chain managers. The report found that "while nearly 70% per cent of respondents saw improved supply chain as a top priority, it was clear that the challenges faced did not always mean overcoming those difficulties."

1, the APS system requires a large amount of data from the traditional need for better planning advice, ERP and custom data sources, but the key to this process is the input of inventory planning for each product parameter. Optimization planning parameters will detail how to conduct security inventory, cycle, commodity inventory, etc. these plans are non-linear, random inputs ("uncertain variables"), but APs is built on address planning challenges that are linear and deterministic (based on data is "certain" or "known").

2, the inventory drive is not visible, today's enterprises have a better understanding of how much inventory they are currently carrying out, but they do not understand why inventory is at a certain level of the driver increase or decrease inventory and what extent.

3, there is no "total chain of views" Today's Supply chain inventory optimization inventory, in multi-stage and multi-location inventory targets must be coordinated at the same time, not in order (one position first, then next, and so on), rather than sub optimization in just one position. Lean production, which for many people has significantly reduced the waste in the plant and increased inventory turnover, can be philosophy, and inventory planning optimization extends across all stages of the supply chain to improve efficiency while maintaining and improving service levels.
