Bring the future into closer focus
If you are like most manufacturers today, managing your planning and scheduling resources has become a major challenge. The disrupted supply chain, workforce availability, equipment capacity, sporadic market demand, and changing customer expectations all contribute to the complexities of planning. Having the right resources available is essential for keeping production flowing and ensuring customers receive orders on time. 

In this session we will focus on Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) capabilities within CloudSuite Industrial. Our Infor expert will share:

 - What APS is, how it varies from traditional Manufacturing Resource Planning and the difference between Planning and Scheduling within CSI.
 - The basic configuration requirements needed to effectively utilize APS and available-to-promise/capable-to-promise (ATP/CTP)  functionality. We'll also look at the key differences between these solutions
 - Examples of advanced applications that help identify accurate and reliable commitment dates.

CloudSuite® Industrial APS - Effective Planning & Scheduling

Today, leading manufacturers are shifting their mindset away from being centered around ERP systems and are embracing a more contemporary platform-oriented approach. The second installment of our Agility in Manufacturing webinar series will explore enterprise automation.

In this exciting era of composable ERP, composition platforms serve as the essential foundation for enhancing agility and driving digital transformation. This allows companies to redirect their efforts towards harnessing the potential of digital platforms to create intelligent, outcome-focused digital processes, rather than getting bogged down in the intricacies of technology integration.

One significant benefit of this platform-oriented strategy is its capacity to expand automation throughout the entire enterprise. By integrating process automation with embedded artificial intelligence (AI), businesses gain the power to streamline repetitive tasks, mitigate various factors such as human and process errors, operational risks, and, notably, reduce costs.

Attendees of this webinar will gain insights into:

Transitioning from ERP-centric thinking to adopting a platform-oriented mindset.
Enhancing legacy ERP systems through the utilization of enterprise automation.
Implementing enterprise automation at scale, spanning from back-end to front-end systems and decision-making processes.
Exploring the business drivers and essential use cases for enterprise automation.
Strategies for accelerating enterprise automation initiatives and achieving faster time-to-value.
Establishing new digital/human partnerships by employing an integrated, simplified, and end-to-end approach to enterprise automation.

Manufacturing agility through enterprise automation

Augmented Intelligence (AI) is more than just a buzzword; it's a powerful tool that can significantly enhance the performance and efficiency of manufacturing processes. By harnessing historical data from various enterprise applications, AI empowers manufacturers to make agile and informed decisions that align perfectly with their business goals.

In our exclusive panel discussion, you'll gain invaluable insights into the successful adoption and enablement of AI in the digital era. Our expert speakers will share real-world examples of how data-driven decision-making frameworks have helped manufacturers overcome challenges and achieve incremental changes. You'll also discover the pivotal role of technology as a decision enabler and how to seamlessly integrate it with people and processes.

Key webinar takeaways:

 - Unlock opportunities: Explore several areas where AI can revolutionize and optimize manufacturing processes.
 - Navigate the digital era: Learn how to effectively and incrementally implement AI strategies in the current digital landscape.
