General

To really manage the supply chain, companies need timely access to information that helps facilitate rapid decision-making.

A supply chain manager must be able to see everything, to change anything, and to consider all aspects of the supply chain when making major decisions.

Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) can give supply chain decision makers the visibility and decision support capability they need.

In order to help companies to improve their supply chain performances and to increase customer value, Imants BVBA provides the Advanced Planning and Scheduling Guide, a practical and comprehensive Powerpoint 97 Presentation.

This Presentation includes all aspects of Advanced Planning and Scheduling.
