APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) system: a key tool for tire factories to enhance their delivery capabilities

Production scheduling is one of the most challenging tasks in tire manufacturing. With diverse orders, tight delivery timelines, and complex process routes, any change can disrupt the entire production flow. Manual scheduling based on experience is inefficient and often fails to balance capacity, inventory, and delivery commitments.

APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) systems generate optimized and executable production plans by analyzing order priorities, equipment capacity, process constraints, and resource availability. Compared with traditional methods, APS improves both planning accuracy and responsiveness.

In tire factories, the true value of APS lies not only in faster scheduling, but in more stable execution. When equipment failures, order changes, or material delays occur, APS can dynamically adjust plans to minimize delivery risks.

By deeply integrating APS with MES, ZQSOFT helps tire manufacturers establish a closed-loop planning and execution system, enhancing delivery performance and customer satisfaction.
