Opcenter (Preactor) Advanced Planning
Opcenter (formerly Preactor) Advanced Planning is a strategic decision support tool, which combines forecast and long term orders with target stock levels and bucketed resource capacities, to ensure that future demand is met. It does this by creating a master production schedule detailing when and how much of each SKU should be produced in order to satisfy the demand. The software can take in to account constraints such as shelf life and material requirements and can balance the load of production requirements across multiple planning resources.
Opcenter (Preactor) Advanced Scheduling
Opcenter (formerly Preactor) Advanced Scheduling is a finite capacity scheduling tool based on a detailed model of the plant. It takes in to account the actual availability of resources and other constraints, such as tooling and materials, to produce a feasible schedule. From this starting point the software can be used to increase throughput, decrease WIP and inventory, and increase resource utilization.
