Real Value - VirtECS Scheduler projects are done on time and on budget and you do not pay for the software until you know it works
VirtECS creates only “real world feasible” schedules. Generating schedules for a process is not really all that difficult, but generating schedules that are feasible and can be executed by your operations personnel is another matter entirely. The approach taken by many other systems is to generate a schedule which is ‘almost correct’ by modeling the operation with simple rules or simplified constraints; they leave the details of creating a real world schedule as an exercise to the planner. The problem is that when there are real constraints on the system, the suggested schedule may be useless.
In addition to handling complex real-world constraints, VirtECS gives you flexibility in setting the strategy for scheduling the plant. If your objective is to achieve maximum customer service while minimizing overall schedule cost and keeping your finished goods inventory as low as possible, VirtECS can provide schedules that help you choose the best balance between your objectives. The automated scheduling capabilities also provide VirtECS with unparalleled power for what-if scenario analysis. Its modular architecture allows the design of analysis that can answer specific questions important to your business.
Best of all, the powerful capabilities provided by the VirtECS scheduling solution typically require far less time and cost for customization and installation. The underlying approach is designed to handle constraints automatically, and not by an extended trial-and-error modeling approach that take other scheduling systems months or years to install. Reducing the deployment costs not only lowers your total cost of ownership substantially, but risk is also significantly reduced. Rapid configuration also allows VirtECS to let you respond quickly to change. We’re confident that we can improve your scheduling of complex operations and increase the value of your business. Let Advanced Process Combinatorics help you take your operation to the next level.
