GANTTPLAN APS
What GANTTPLAN APS is
GANTTPLAN APS is a manufacturing planning system that schedules orders around available production resources and capacity constraints. It plans machines and work centers, personnel, production resources and tools, and materials together. Planners can use automatic order scheduling, simulation, optimization-based planning and scenario mode, or make manual adjustments that are checked against restrictions.
Its material requirements planning includes lot-size optimization, material availability checks and dynamic order-network planning. GANTTPLAN Expert adds seven weighted optimization criteria: setup, production and personnel costs, throughput times, capacity utilization, capital commitment and delivery reliability. Optional GANTTPLAN Confirmation brings shop-floor feedback into real-time plan adjustments, while Analytics examines historical production data and supports forecasting. The system connects with ERP and MES systems, and DUALIS positions it as an SAP ERP add-on. It is available on premises and through the cloud, including on Microsoft Azure, and users can access it in a web browser on any device. DUALIS offers a free trial, with no duration stated. The product has no free plan and its paid pricing is available on request.
