“…Furthermore, providing the ERP with all this data could prove challenging (see Wiers, 2002), as the integration of the ERP with the scheduling system could be extremely costly (in Missbauer et al, 2009 it is described a case in which around 15,000 lines of code were required to support this integration). Probably, only the estimated finishing date for each product is needed.…”

It has been frequently stated that there exists a gap between production scheduling theory and practice. In order to put the theoretical findings into practice, the advances in scheduling models and solution procedures should be embedded into a piece of software -a scheduling system-at work in the companies. This results in a process which entails 1) determining its functional features, and 2) adopting a successful strategy for its development and deployment. In this paper we address the latter question and review the related literature in order to identify descriptions and recommendations of the main aspects to be taken into account when developing such system. These issues are then discussed and classified, resulting in a set of guidelines that can help practitioners during the process of developing and deploying a scheduling system. In addition, the identification of these issues can provide some insights to drive the theoretical scheduling research towards those topics more demanded by practitioners, thus helping in closing the aforementioned gap.

Due to the instability of markets and the intense competition among companies, detailed scheduling has increasingly become a challenge to management. Companies that focus on the improvement of PPC activities demand tools to meet their needs, such as the finite capacity scheduling tool, also known as AdvancedResumo: Devido à grande instabilidade dos mercados e a intensa competição entre as empresas, a Programação Detalhada da Produção (PDP) vem se tornando cada vez mais um desafio para a gestão empresarial. As empresas, na busca do aprimoramento das atividades de PCP, estão demandando ferramentas de programação finita, também conhecidas como Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS). Este artigo visa identificar as necessidades e dificuldades da programação detalhada da produção, as barreiras de implantação e os benefícios dos sistemas APS. O método utilizado foi um survey com as empresas filiadas à Fiesp. Os resultados obtidos mostram: i) a programação detalhada da produção é efetivamente uma atividade complexa para a maioria das empresas, especialmente aquelas com estratégia de produção contra pedido (MTO-make to order); ii) a maioria das empresas ainda utiliza o modelo MRP (capacidade infinita); iii) os objetivos de melhoria de desempenho na entrega poderiam ser mais facilmente alcançados com o uso de sistemas APS; iv) o investimento financeiro e falta de capacitação são ainda impedimentos para a implantação desses sistemas. Palavras-chave: IntroduçãoDesde a década de 1990, muitas empresas têm adotado sistemas ERP para controlar e integrar as informações dos processos de negócios das empresas referentes aos clientes, fornecedores, recursos humanos, custos e fluxo de caixa. As atividades de gestão de estoques, gerenciamento de pedidos, planejamento e controle da produção, distribuição, contabilidade e gestão de recursos humanos são os processos mais beneficiados pela implantação de sistemas ERP nas empresas.Helo (2008) realizou um survey com as empresas fornecedoras de sistemas ERP na Finlândia que aponta como vantagens proporcionadas pelos sistemas ERP: redução do lead time, 22%; melhoria na data de entrega, 17%. Quanto às limitações dos sistemas ERP: dificuldade de entendimento da lógica ERP, 46%; complexidade, 36%; dificuldade de implantação, 36%. Portanto, vale destacar a importância de ferramentas mais apropriadas e amigáveis para atender às necessidades da atividade de planejamento e controle da produção.

“…Their advanced algorithms enable automatic creation of production course scenarios, taking into consideration the specific character of processes in an enterprise [23]. APS class systems may therefore perfectly complement MRP II/ERP systems [25] (Fig. 2).…”

Abstract:The paper presents the problem of manufacturing process flexibility in view of a company's material and information flow stream management. The author of the article has described the functions of a production process control system and presented the characteristics of production capacity intensive and extensive reserves. The MRP II/ERP, MES and APS class IT tools supporting the process of production planning, organization and control have also been discussed.
