FELIOS APS Successfully Started at PI DPG on August 1, 2022

FELIOS APS, the production planning software, successfully started on August 1, 2022 at the PI DPG locations Eschbach, Rosenheim and Karlsruhe in Production, Production Management and the local SCM units.

FELIOS APS is our new production planning software which plans with limited resources and capacities and therefore offers realistic, reliable and on-time planning. The project aims to set up an on-time planning that increases the reliability of delivery to over 90 percent and therefore ensures that we are a reliable partner for our customers.

The introduction of FELIOS APS was a joint project of the IT team led by Stefan Schreiber as well as the Order Processing team led by Bernd Fischer. The IT programmed the interfaces, carried out mass updates for master data and working plans, newly set up ERP processes and rolled out the software. The Order Processing team redefined the order entry process and standardized the data entry.

In this current introductory phase, the teams involved will be stabilizing the system and carrying out an initial optimization. Here, the goal is to improve the data quality and to realistically plan the delivery dates and confirm these with our customers thanks to the newly created transparency regarding material availability and personnel planning. In the subsequent phases, the data quality and processes will additionally be optimized to further improve the quality of the delivery date estimates. This will be an iterative process until we will reach the desired quality for our data and processes.

We would like to thank the teams involved for their efforts!
