[Information] The Approach to Production Planning Varies by Site

- Organize the roles of ERP and the scheduler -

The environment surrounding Japan's manufacturing industry is becoming increasingly complex due to factors such as small-lot production of various types, short delivery times, demand fluctuations, and labor shortages. As a result, production planning and scheduling tasks require more rapid and flexible responses. On the other hand, many companies have established a certain level of operation through ERP's production management functions and on-site adjustments, leading to frequent dilemmas about "how much should be handled by ERP and where should production schedulers complement it." This white paper organizes the different approaches to production planning that vary based on production types and site characteristics, while explaining the differences in roles between ERP and production schedulers (APS) and points for effective differentiation in their use.
