AXIOM® APS
Advanced Capabilities for Planning and Scheduling

AXIOM APS extends the planning and scheduling functions in AXIOM/mx Open with powerful advanced capabilities to further improve throughput, customer responsiveness, on-time delivery performance, and management decision-making.

Finite Capacity Scheduling helps generate realistic production schedules in minutes by taking into account all of the key factors that determine capacity, like machine, tooling, labor, and material availability. In addition, it allows for down time for preventative maintenance and material availability.

Capable to Promise helps you take more orders and deliver as promised by providing the tools to identify and respond to the impact of rush orders and schedule changes. With the right information, you can provide customers with delivery dates that meet their needs, knowing in advance what it will take to deliver.

What-if Analysis helps managers and schedulers make better decisions faster by providing the ability to weigh the pros and cons of different scheduling strategies and experiment with factors that directly affect the bottom line, such as staffing levels, on-hand inventory, overtime, or new equipment.

"We're now getting product out the door faster. From the time the call comes in, we're able to pull it faster, dock it faster, schedule it onto the floor faster, order materials faster, move it from process to process on the floor faster."

"We can keep a lower level of inventory on hand because we have more accurate records and can be sure of what we have, instead of buying extra just to cover ourselves or duplicating purchases because our records were incomplete."
