Advanced Planning in Supply Chains

Beschreibung

Advanced Planning Systems (APS) are a key enabler of the supply chain management. However, APS are highly complex and difficult to comprehend.
This book provides students with valuable insights into the capabilities of state-of-the-art APS and bridges the gap between theory (model building and solution algorithms), software implementation, and adaptation to a specific business case. Our business case – named Frutado – provides a unifying framework for illustrating the different planning tasks that arise in a company – from demand planning to the distribution of goods – that are addressed by APS.
In addition, the book guides through interactive learning units which have been created and recorded for each module of SAP´s APS. Learning units can be downloaded free of charge ready to be displayed in a web browser.
Together, the textbook and the learning units provide the required skills to better understand the concepts, models, and algorithms underlying today´s APS.

A business case from the consumer goods industry illustrates how to make the best use of an Advanced Planning System (APS) Planning functions are explained module by module Models underlying these planning functions are presented enabling the reader to better understand and evaluate the solutions proposed by an APS For each module there are interactive learning units, divided into a basic and an in-depth stream, allowing the reader to explore an APS (SAP® APO)
