inconsoPPS/L Production Planning and Control System

The open and flexible PPS System for the process and variation rich production

Who manages the production today and in the future? With the increasing networking of production and logistics processes, open information processing systems that make dependable planning and flexible controlling of the processes possible are in demand.

inconsoPPS/L is such an application -  a modular logistics-oriented system for production planning and scheduling (PPS). It offers system support along the entire logistics value chain, from inquiry through to the delivery. inconsoPPS/L was developed in response to the real-life requirements of numerous manufacturers in process- and variant-rich production. The system architecture and special functions of inconsoPPS/L are engineered to satisfy these requirements. inconsoPPS/L belongs to that rare breed of PPS systems that fully integrate planning and scheduling. It supports rough planning and detailed scheduling with variable horizons and granularities. The collective order is scheduled simultaneously across all resources. At the scheduling level, feedback immediately affects order-cycle deadlines and quantities down the entire collective-order structure. An integrated rule set stores the variant-configuration information for all stages of production. It can also assign master data for new variants and make changes to any business functions needed to maintain process flexibility.
