What is Siemens Opcenter APS?

The manufacturing sector is experiencing a remarkable evolution driven by digital advancements, pushing businesses to quickly and intelligently respond to unexpected changes while also managing shorter lead times and meeting customer demands effectively. This challenge is not limited to large enterprises; smaller and medium-sized businesses are similarly impacted. In response to these issues, Siemens has introduced Opcenter APS (formerly recognized as Preactor APS), utilizing advanced algorithms to synchronize demand with production capacity, thereby creating realistic production schedules. These solutions are adaptable for various planning horizons, encompassing long-term strategic planning that may last months or years, as well as medium-term tactical planning that covers several weeks, in addition to managing complex sequencing and scheduling requirements. Notably, Siemens Opcenter APS is ready for prompt deployment and can be customized according to specific needs, operating independently for planning and scheduling purposes while being able to integrate seamlessly with other software systems to boost overall operational effectiveness. This flexibility ensures that manufacturers can maintain competitiveness in an increasingly digital marketplace.

What is Adexa?

Effective supply chain and demand planning hinge on a well-structured representation of your supply chain, commonly known as a digital twin. By utilizing accurate planning methods, companies can reliably commit to delivery timelines and anticipate financial results with confidence. This level of precision is maintained through an ongoing cycle of Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) as well as Sales and Operations Execution (S&OE). The Adexa S&OP platform stands out as a powerful tool that boosts transparency, predictability, and agility throughout the supply chain while concurrently slashing operational expenses. It facilitates the accurate forecasting and optimization of inventory buffers at various stages within the supply chain, resulting in quicker delivery periods, improved order fulfillment rates, and a reduction of potential material and capacity shortages. The system autonomously modifies inventory levels in alignment with service-level agreements customized for different customer segments, SKUs, or product categories. Moreover, this solution actively detects and predicts discrepancies and potential capacity constraints by utilizing adaptive business rules that consider sourcing from various plants and approved suppliers, thereby ensuring a fluid supply chain operation. Ultimately, the adoption of this sophisticated solution empowers organizations to effectively manage complexities and swiftly adjust to evolving market needs, thereby enhancing their competitive advantage. In doing so, companies not only streamline their operations but also foster stronger relationships with customers through improved service delivery.
