Production Planning & Scheduling
Rubber & Plastics Industries
Opcenter APS (formerly Preactor) is used widely in the Plastics and Rubber sectors. From a detailed scheduling perspective, getting an optimized sequence of batches onto machines based on resin types, color and other attributes can be important to getting the best productivity by reducing changeover time. Additional constraints such as tooling and setup staff can affect which orders can be processed at the same time and may also be important.
