Honeywell’s Advanced Planning and Scheduling solution can be used for monthly production plans. Can the same solution provide information for an annual operating plan and five-year strategic plan?
Yes. RPMS supports multi-period modeling that allows the planner to vary the length of the time periods used for optimizing the plan. For longer periods, the planner can include: different prices structures to reflect changing seasonal demand, varying processing capacity to reflect possible shutdowns or de-bottlenecking projects, and investment-capacity relationships to determine the benefit of possible capital projects.
