FLEX APS advanced planning & scheduling features enable companies to:

• Improve service level and provide more precise delivery dates
• Decrease manufacturing lead time by planning purchase and production activities according to material requirements
• Perform interactive “what if” simulations to evaluate the real-time impact of each action on the plan
• Identify pre-emptively critical materials and bottle necks in order to perform "make or buy" analysis
• Improve production efficiency by increasing plant's saturation 
• Decrease the number of missing materials
• Thanks to the real-time synchronization with the FLEX MES solution, verify the workflow of planned activities in the exact time when these are performed, in order to take immediate action in case of need (according to the “Plan while Executing” paradigm)
