Production Lead Time Reduction: Calculating your production schedule at high precision considering resource capacity is enough to start shortening production lead times. By synchronizing multiple processes in the schedule, APS eliminates unnecessary wait time between processes.

If you need to shorten lead times more, you can split manufacturing orders or individual operations and assign them to multiple machines in parallel.

To shorten lead times even further, you can overlap subsequent processes or reduce transfer batch sizes. Asprova supports the most advanced features to reduce lead time as: Synchronized Finite Capacity Scheduling, Operation Splitting, Time Constraint Method (Transfer Batch Size), Time Constraint MAX, Resource Lock, Bottleneck-Oriented Scheduling, External Setup, etc.
