Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS)

The link to the APS online database is below. Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) is typically defined as a process to model and optimize the receipt and allocation of production resources. The main resources considered are:

  • Machine/production facility capacity, and production labor: This portion of APS models and manages production resources, dependencies, bottlenecks, and business rules and is facilitated by a component of APS called finite capacity scheduling (FCS) software.

  • Production materials: This portion of APS plans and endeavors to ensure enough production materials are available at all stages of production, while minimizing inventory and is typically and largely handled by ERP and/or Supply Chain Management (SCM) solutions.

Why SoftSelect APS Summary Data can be Trusted

We understand that information received from Internet sources is legitimately suspect for it's accuracy and why it is being offered. A vast majority of Internet 'Software Lists' are traps to capture and distribute your name to software vendors and service providers.

The following aspects of SoftSelect's enterprise/business software research collection and dissemination process lend to credibility.

  • No money is taken from APS software vendors for their listing

  • The research collection and maintenance process is remarkably straight-forward in its simplicity to reach truly useful information

  • The research process does not depend on a vendor's supplied answers

  • SoftSelect uses the exact same data to develop software candidate lists for clients

  • SoftSelect's reputation would not be served well if this data was not reasonably crafted or maintained

SoftSelect makes this summary enterprise software data available as a mechanism to create awareness of its broader business software research/insight and enterprise software management tools/methods that your business may benefit from using
