Digitalization is changing everything, and manufacturers must react quickly and intelligently to unexpected changes, while being able to respond to shorter lead times and satisfy customer demands. These challenges are faced not only by large enterprises, but also small and medium businesses. Opcenter APS (formerly known as “Preactor APS) Advanced Planning and Scheduling software solutions have been specifically developed to meet this need, using advanced algorithms that balance demand and capacity to generate achievable production schedules.
Opcenter APS products can be used for long-term strategic planning covering months and years, medium-term tactical planning with a few weeks planning horizon and for detailed sequencing and scheduling.
Opcenter APS can be installed out of the box, and can be customized and configured where necessary. It can be used standalone to manage planning and scheduling, and is also designed for integration with other software such as ERP, MES, Data collection, Forecasting, Demand Planning and OEE applications.

What do you like best?
Compliant Pro offers us a way to track our work requests and training records all in one place. It also is easy to change ownership and edit rights of documents, which makes transfer and completion of requests easier than it was with our previous program, IBM Notes.
What do you dislike?
The software is so outdated. It's like working on a computer from 1995. We migrated our controlled documents to CP from IBM Notes but honestly as of now they don't seem very different. Organization is key, but it's almost overly organized, so much so that things are buried in folders that take ages to find. Unless you know what you're looking for specifically, you'll never find it!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pay for professional training and make sure that you send your employees. The software is NOT intuitive.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
CP helps our lab track training records and controlled documents in order to sustain our ISO 9001 accreditation. It also logs changes of controlled documents in a master sheet, which is extremely helpful during audits.
