SkyMes APS
Advanced Planning and Scheduling with Factory Navigator tool

The main features of SkyMes APS

• Complete Visibility on Planning

  SkyMes offers a comprehensive view of the entire production flow, from the insertion of sales orders to the shipment of the finished product, generating the required material lists and optimized work sequences.

• Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

  SkyMes calculates the amount of materials needed for production (production requirements) by generating a list of missing materials to be supplied and their respective delivery dates to avoid delays.

• Optimized Resource Scheduling

  SkyMes optimizes the use of resources (machinery, labor) considering the actual capacity of the production facilities, based on their specific usage schedule, allowing the creation of realistic production programs and improving the punctuality of deliveries.

• Creation of Feasible Production Plans

  SkyMes takes into account any factory constraints such as equipment, human resources, space, energy, etc., to create optimized and feasible production plans.

• Interaction and Collaboration

  SkyMes, with its interactive GANTT and features for visualization, highlighting, analysis, "Lot Split," and "Drag & Drop," facilitates user interaction to allow adjustment of the proposed production plan and improve collaboration among different teams.

• Simulation of Different Scenarios (What-If Analysis)

  SkyMes allows for the simulation of different operational scenarios to evaluate differences and repercussions on possible scheduling choices.

• Interactive Automatic Rescheduling

  SkyMes, unique in its kind, thanks to perfect integration with factory events and real-time production progress, instantly recalculates the production plan in the event of unforeseen circumstances and/or delays/advances. The rescheduling process particularly considers key factors such as ongoing activities, blocked activities, material delivery dates, order priorities, availability of secondary resources, etc.

• Capable To Promise

  The CTP (Capable-to-Promise) function of SkyMes allows for accurate, reliable, and real-time responses to customer inquiries regarding product availability and delivery dates. Based on current production capacity and requests, SkyMes calculates whether the factory can meet the demand within the required time frames. The system immediately provides a delivery date that the company can realistically meet.

• Advanced Analysis and Reporting

  SkyMes provides detailed analyses and reporting capabilities to monitor performance and identify areas for improvement. Using SkyMes's customizable dashboards and intuitive visualization tools, you can easily view the main performance indicators of scheduling and production.
