Vol 26 - No 06 - July/August 2000 APS: From Myth to Reality? Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) is currently a very hot topic for all those interested in operations and supply chain management. As a result of the demand from members for more on this topic, the Institute's Events Committee and the APS SIG have brought together a number of key speakers on APS for a one day seminar on Thursday, 28th September which will be chaired by Rod Moulding, Chairman of the APS SIG... Speakers from four leading companies (Karl Belk of APS Berk; Iain Tully of Allied Domecq; Martin Russell, Cummins Engine;and Paul Spells of SmithKline Beecham) who have all implemented APS systems in their companies will share their experiences of the benefits and pitfalls of APS. Mike Harrison of Synchronology Limited will help you to understand how to define your company's needs and how to recognise the most appropriate software while Christopher Gasc of ILOG will discuss how APS should be piloted to ensure that the final implementation will deliver the required flexibility and responsiveness. Finally, Günther Kruse, one of the Institute's Vice Chairmen, will look at how APS can deliver improved ROI for your business. A full programme for this event is included as an insert with this issue of Control and full details are also on the Institute's web site at www.iomnet.org.uk. Related Topics:
