Queris APS is an advanced production planning and scheduling system (Advanced Planning & Scheduling) designed for manufacturing plants where spreadsheets and manual planning can no longer keep up with operational reality. The solution enables fast creation of realistic production schedules, taking into account actual constraints related to resources, technology, workforce availability, and material supply.
The system automatically generates and recalculates schedules based on up-to-date data, allowing planners to respond in real time to changes such as machine breakdowns, workforce absences, delivery delays, or rush orders. With built-in what-if simulations, users can compare multiple planning scenarios within seconds and consciously select the optimal option in terms of delivery performance, capacity utilization, or setup time reduction.
Queris APS provides full transparency of the production plan by identifying bottlenecks, resource overloads, and risks of missed deadlines—showing not only what is at risk, but also why. The system supports both discrete and process manufacturing, including complex constraints such as technological sequences, production campaigns, setup and changeover times, and quality or compliance requirements.
As an integral part of the Queris ecosystem, Queris APS can be seamlessly integrated with ERP, MES, and CMMS systems. Production plans are automatically released to the shop floor, while execution data, downtime events, and resource availability are fed back into APS, enabling continuous schedule validation and re-optimization.
Queris APS reduces planning time from hours to minutes, improves on-time delivery performance (OTIF), increases effective capacity utilization, and significantly lowers work-in-process (WIP). It is a solution for manufacturers aiming to move from firefighting to predictable, data-driven production management.
