The "internal and external uncertainty" of the survival environment of enterprises continues to increase

The overall trend of modern business change is that consumers' demand for goods or services is becoming increasingly personalized, the market's sensitivity to time is increasing, the speed of product updates is also getting faster, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and uncertainty has become an important feature of the modern business environment.

The external uncertainties mainly include shortened market cycles, rapid fluctuations in demand, and large-scale customization; The main internal uncertainties are deviation from demand forecasts, insufficient or excessive supply, low efficiency with many defective products, and channel congestion. Therefore, using information technology to establish a flexible supply chain to adapt to the increasingly changing market demand is a necessary path for enterprises.

What is SAPS

SAPS (Sie Advanced Planning and Scheduling) SIE Advanced Planning and Scheduling Optimization System was initially used to calculate and optimize plans within a factory, and later extended to supply chain planning, including the needs of suppliers, distributors and shipping points.

SIE SAPS is a high-level supply chain planning system. In the process of enterprise transformation from a single company to a group company, the cooperation of multi region, multi factory, multi department, multi country and upstream and downstream supply chains has transformed the original relatively loose supply chain structure into a tight supply chain network alliance.

SAPS's five major values enable efficient management of flexible supply chains

1、 Improve accuracy

The SAPS Advanced Plan fully considers the limited capacity constraints of equipment, material constraints, and inventory and procurement situations, thus enabling more refined and executable production and material planning than MRP's unlimited capacity scheduling. It achieves accurate evaluation, reserved buffer, capacity simulation and adjustment, guides material procurement, delivery commitments, and collaborates with manufacturing, procurement, and supply. 

2、 lower production cost

SAPS advanced scheduling supports different optimization scheduling methods, such as combining production processes into orders, reducing switching, optimizing resources, and lowering production costs.

3、 Enhance line capability

Multiple scheduling optimization rules can be set to meet different production requirements. Prioritize resource efficiency, resource utilization, reverse scheduling thresholds based on order priority, etc., allocate molds and personnel reasonably according to demand, and accurately calculate the capabilities of the computer station.

4、 Reduce the workload of documentary personnel

SAPS provides a fast simulation scheduling function based on the actual production capacity and material inventory situation of the factory, which can quickly simulate scheduling for intention orders or sales orders, and respond to customer orders with reasonable delivery dates based on the simulation scheduling results, improving delivery accuracy and customer satisfaction. Compared with traditional prediction methods, SAPS can significantly improve prediction accuracy and the work efficiency of planners, reducing unnecessary personnel operations.

5、 Improve equipment utilization rate

Through a more efficient and visual scheduling system, production anomalies can be detected and processed in a timely manner, effectively improving capacity utilization and equipment utilization.

6、Improve the efficiency of planned assignments

By using high-speed memory computing services, the scheduling impact time is increased to the second level, and information is pulled through to provide quick response tools. In addition, the visualization task operation area is linked with detailed information and related plan lists, allowing users to focus on the plan, respond quickly, and adjust the plan.

Based on market development trends, it is a challenge for every enterprise to reasonably arrange production and improve efficiency while meeting personalized customer needs for products and services. Use SIE SAPS system to build a flexible supply chain system, so that enterprises can not only meet market demand, but also reduce production costs. At present, SIE Information SAPS has served dozens of world-famous enterprises such as Dongpeng Ceramics, Delma Electric Appliances, Nanyang Explosion proof, etc., bringing efficient computing, reasonable production scheduling and other intelligent manufacturing methods to other customers, forming a more efficient production management model.
