Brain of Supply Chain System (4 Pages)
by Ashfaque Ahmed
Jun 19, 2004 Abstract : A software tool called advanced planning and optimization, APO, for short, is used to make a supply chain system cost effective and integrated. Since this tool works on top of all other software tools which are used to plan, monitor, and control supply chain activities and control them, APO can effectively be called the brain of a supply chain system. This article explores advantages of having an APO tool for managing supply chain functions even if a business already has invested in a supply chain management (SCM) system. If a company has not made the investment then the APO tool can be used together with the upcoming SCM system.

Scheduling Resource Demand in a Concurrent Engineering Environment by Enhanced Systems and Services
Abstract : Manufacturers producing capital equipment and highly-engineered products face far more challenging design, production, and delivery obstacles compared to discrete and repetitive manufacturers. Due to the length of time required to engineer and produce these complex products, which can often take months or years, the entire process eclipses the scope of a job and is referred to as a project. This white paper will discuss one of the more challenging daily activities encountered by these project-oriented manufacturers: scheduling projects and resource demand in a concurrent engineering environment.
