Research on the relationship between ERP and APS

It is possible that many people will wonder why most of the ERP software companies do not launch the relevant APS products, one thing is certain is not the customer does not have this concept, if you have to say, can only say that the current demand is not very strong, from the ERP vendors are very eager to work with APS company, Even if there is a high price to buy the APS code, you can know the market and customer demand for APS, in fact, the most important technical reasons for the majority of it, ERP and APS are essential technical differences. &http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; First of all, although ERP and APS are enterprise Informatization tools, but they solve the problem (currently applied to solve the problem) is very different, ERP focus on business logic management, data flow management, and APS is to solve complex logical calculation. From the positioning of the business determines their nature, ERP is the management software, and APS should be an intelligent computing software, this is the APS a more essential term, as for now also called intelligent Management software, because now APS in the market needs and ERP integration, But now APS vendors are often directly on the project, therefore, it is necessary to extend many management functions similar to ERP, and eventually lead to the APS software has deviated from its own functional positioning, the function of business management can not reach the level of the ERP, the core computing function is not the standard interface with the ERP. This neglected situation is determined by the market, because only the core computing capabilities of APS do not directly enhance the production planning level of the enterprise, and can not help the APS vendors to win orders, they can only extend the capabilities of the APS to resemble ERP functions, and the trend is to focus more and more on the extension of ERP functions, These are business-led businesses that influence technology.   Second, APS itself does have a very big challenge, which is manifested in two aspects, on the one hand is well-known algorithm problem, APS do need some planning algorithms and intelligent optimization algorithm, know these algorithms are the basic requirements for the development of APS, but the ERP company has long been focused on business management, There is no technical reserve for algorithms, so APS is also known as the technical bottleneck of ERP. Second, APS is not only software technology, more important is the theory of production management, APS development team must have the production management theory of members, only the production management theory and mathematical algorithms and software technology combined to really have the premise of the development of APS.   On the contrary, some relatively small ERP software companies are constantly developing APS products, which is also a trend in the future software market, ERP companies realize that this is the social division of labor, supply value chain development needs, enterprises to achieve information, the entire value chain needs to provide different products, Oneself should pursue the part which belongs to oneself,Instead of pursuing all-inclusive, covering all the value chain products.   Yongkaida APs to solve the scheduling problems that cannot be satisfied by ERP Http://www.yukontek.com,APS Production planning management expert 400-076-7600,021-68886010
