The advanced planning system (APS) FELIOS system from INFORM will be used to support production areas in planning and processing their tasks. The data from the BaaN ERP system forms the basis for planning. The planning results are then provided to the ERP system again.
Supplement
Only a few users are to have direct access to the FELIOS application, operative units such as Purchasing and Work Scheduling will work exclusively with the newly-scheduled deadlines in the ERP system. This requires that the planned deadlines be available in the ERP system every work day by 6.00 AM at the latest.
Subject description
The connection from BaaN to FELIOS must be used for the design and implementation of an output and input interface for BaaN. Because it is no longer possible to change the assembly status of turbines after final assembly, changes must be made to the FELIOS standard software (mega compactification). Working efficiently with an APS system requires high data quality that is achieved through the implementation of new processes and the enhancement of ERP software (material exchange, assembly status assignment, addition of actual time entry). The new processes and applications are implemented and training is provided. Manual processes are automated as far as possible using batch jobs.
