Waltrump APS
What Waltrump APS is
Waltrump APS is a web-based advanced planning and scheduling system for manufacturing. It converts demand, priorities and production constraints into a feasible, explainable sequence before work reaches production. Its finite-capacity scheduling accounts for machines, materials, labor, tools and moulds, helping plans reflect the resources that can restrict output. The system includes what-if simulation for scenario planning and schedule recovery when plans need adjustment. Waltrump presents APS for situations such as manually built daily schedules, delivery commitments made without capacity evidence, tool- or mould-dependent planning, and conflicting schedule versions. It is described as an independent manufacturing product that can operate by itself or alongside Waltrump’s other products. Waltrump says its customer groups include contract manufacturers, OEM suppliers, high-volume assembly operations, brownfield factories and multi-plant manufacturing organizations. APS has a defined operational scope: it handles planning and scheduling, but not inventory posting, operation execution, accounting entries, ERP demand authorization or MES execution. Prospective customers can request an APS Planning Assessment. Pricing is available on request, and the product runs through a web platform.
Who it suits
APS suits manufacturing organizations that need finite-capacity plans incorporating machine, material, labor, tool and mould constraints.
