Production Planning & Scheduling
Pulp & Paper Industries
Opcenter APS (formerly Preactor) is used widely in the Printing and Packaging sectors. Printers can have various capabilities in terms of colors so that there are alternative routes for orders to take.
Batching together similar orders can reduce clean down time. In book and magazine there are often multiple sections to be assembled and the management of parallel processes can be important to minimize waiting time and work in process.
