Lean Scheduling International works closely with a small but select group of companies who are using APS systems to give them a significant competitive advantage.
If you are one of the many who are frustrated with the limitations of your ERP system in the area of planning and scheduling and you are starting to hear about some of the great APS success stories then you may want to explore your options before you rush into action.
The reality is that once manufacturers understand the amazing capabilities of APS technology, they are often tempted to rush in and get a piece of the action and unfortunately they end up jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
To avoid this happening to you, we strongly recommend that you take a few minutes to review some of the real world issues you are likely to face with someone that has pioneered many of the APS success stories. Our knowledge does not come from books or fancy theories but from 20 years with our sleeves rolled up in the trenches ironing out the details that make the difference between success and failure.
Despite the great success that we have had in the following industries we urge you to remember that every manufacturer is different and if anyone tells you that they have a cookie cutter solution they are either incompetent or they are not being honest.
