Sistema avanzado de planificación y programación (software APS)
Tu producción, perfectamente planificada. El sistema Accevo APS es una herramienta de software especializada que funciona en combinación con tu ERP para planificar la producción, la logística y las cadenas de suministro en tiempo real.
¿Qué es un sistema avanzado de planificación y programación (APS)?
An APS system is software designed to tackle operational planning challenges in production, logistics and supply chain management. It works alongside ERP systems to plan across long, medium and short-term horizons, simulating multiple scenarios in real time to optimize throughput, reduce lead times, manage inventory and improve delivery performance. APS software can help in each industry replacing simple excel files and improving general manufacturing performance.
APS acts as the dynamic link between your high-level planning (ERP/SCM) and the realities on the shop floor. By ingesting real-time production data from ERP systems and sending back optimised production plans, APS transforms static schedules into agile, responsive workflows. In practice, this means you can reduce lead times, improve resource utilisation and keep your strategic goals aligned with what’s actually happening in production.

¿Cuándo se debe considerar el uso del software APS?
Consider implementing an APS when your production plans become too complex for spreadsheets or manual methods to handle reliably. If you find yourself juggling multiple machines, materials and staff shifts—and struggling with late orders, bottlenecks or excess stock—an APS brings clarity and control. By running real-time simulations and optimizing every resource against your priorities, you can react quickly to changes in demand, avoid costly downtime and keep deliveries on track.
Intelligent Scheduling
Automatically sequence tasks to make the best use of machines and people, cutting idle time and speeding up delivery.
Solves: chaos from manual job sequencing and unexpected bottlenecks.
Material & Resource Planning
Ensure you have the right parts, tools and staff in place by matching material availability and capacity to your production needs.
Solves: costly stock-outs, over-ordering and unbalanced workloads
Live What-If Scenarios
Run instant simulations of changes—like rush orders or machine breakdowns—to see the impact and adjust your plan before issues arise.
Solves: the inability to foresee disruptions and adapt in time.

Áreas funcionales
Our Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system supports a wide range of key functional areas to optimise production and planning processes. It includes tools for demand forecasting, production scheduling, and capacity planning, helping manufacturers respond effectively to changing market needs.
The system also covers material requirements planning (MRP), finite and infinite scheduling, and what-if analysis to evaluate different planning scenarios. With constraint management and order prioritisation, users can handle production limits and ensure timely deliveries. Scenario planning, Just-In-Time (JIT) scheduling, and supply chain synchronisation further enhance coordination across the entire manufacturing network.
Tecnologías clave
APS systems today harness a range of key technologies to deliver truly responsive and optimised production plans. Finite-capacity scheduling ensures every machine and work centre is loaded within its actual limits, while AI/ML-based optimisation continuously learns from your data to suggest ever-better sequences. Digital twins replicate your shop-floor in a virtual model, enabling risk-free what-if scenarios and faster decision cycles.
Flexible deployment options—cloud, on-premises or hybrid—let you choose the right balance of control and scalability, and real-time data processing keeps schedules up to date as conditions change. Under the hood, powerful heuristic and genetic algorithms tackle complex trade-offs at speed, and constraint programming enforces every rule from tool availability to labour qualifications, so your plans are both ambitious and achievable.

Retos en la planificación de la producción
Effective production planning is essential for manufacturing efficiency, yet companies frequently encounter challenges such as limited transparency, rigid systems, scheduling complexities, communication issues, and hidden bottlenecks. These problems lead to inefficiencies, delays, and increased costs. To overcome these challenges, businesses should adopt advanced planning tools, flexible scheduling solutions, improved interdepartmental communication, data-driven analytics, and systematic knowledge management, ensuring better adaptability and competitiveness in production processes.
The top five challenges in production planning are:
Limited transparency across the value-added process
Rigid and outdated planning systems (like Excel)
Difficulty managing daily order scheduling
High communication effort between departments
Lack of visibility into production bottlenecks

Cumplimiento de normativas y estándares
ISA-95
ISA-95: Integration Standard between Enterprise and Control Systems
ISA-95 is a widely recognised international standard specifically designed to integrate business (enterprise) and manufacturing (control) systems. It provides a structured approach for data exchange between different operational levels, such as management and factory floor operations.
Improves Visibility and Transparency:
By standardising information flows, ISA-95 helps organisations gain clear visibility across the entire manufacturing process. This standard is crucial for identifying bottlenecks, reducing delays, and improving overall operational efficiency.Supports System Interoperability:
Companies employing ISA-95 experience smoother integration of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and control systems. This interoperability is essential for dynamic production scheduling and real-time decision-making.Enhances Communication:
By standardising terminology and data formats, ISA-95 significantly reduces miscommunications and errors across departments, contributing to more efficient production planning.
Example: A pharmaceutical manufacturer using ISA-95 standards successfully integrates batch production data directly into its ERP system. This integration allows immediate adjustments based on demand forecasts, regulatory requirements, or production anomalies.
ISO 9001
ISO 9001 is an internationally accepted quality management standard focusing on consistent quality delivery, customer satisfaction, and continual process improvement.
Promotes Quality Assurance:
ISO 9001 provides a structured framework to ensure all production processes meet defined quality standards. It directly impacts planning by embedding quality checks into operational routines.Facilitates Risk Management:
By integrating preventive measures and regular audits, ISO 9001 helps identify potential issues in production processes before they escalate, aiding proactive planning and risk reduction.Encourages Continuous Improvement:
Implementing ISO 9001 promotes systematic tracking of performance metrics, enabling continuous improvements in production processes, resource management, and scheduling efficiencies.
Example: An automotive parts manufacturer certified with ISO 9001 systematically reviews production plans and quality metrics. This continuous monitoring ensures prompt action on discrepancies, reduces wastage, and improves production reliability.
