Additional Product Information
Create competitive advantage with your unique manufacturing resources;;iCron APS is ICRON Technologies' breakthrough Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) solution. Like other APS systems, iCron has assisted manufacturers in: ;;reducing inventory levels;shortening order leadtimes;increasing on-time delivery;lowering production and fulfillment costs;improving customer satisfaction;boosting shareholder value;increasing return on assets (ROA);;APS operate by considering availability and constraints in all of the resources required to fulfill an order, equipment, manpower, materials, and other supplies. What is different about iCron is that it can match an enterprise's real environment much more closely than previous systems. For the first time, a company's planners and schedulers can customize every aspect of the system to match each part of the production environment - from modeling actual resources and rules about how they behave best to actually creating tailored algorithms to optimize their utilization.;;So beyond the optimization of using materials, machines, and operators well, this system leverages the primary resource of today's leaders: skilled staff knowledge. This knowledge is what allows a company to gain competitive advantage - IF it can be fully utilized. iCron is designed to reflect a company's best practices and unique competence in production and fulfillment. This customization capability also means the system is more flexible to meet needs as they change. ;;The product's distributed, web-native architecture also means that true collaboration between the knowledgeable people in the company can take place effectively. From our research, iCron is the only product that allows multiple people to access a single scheduling session at the same time. So the scheduler for a feeder operation can optimize that operation and at the same time synchronize with the final assembly scheduler's needs, for example. ;;In manufacturing, the only constant is change. In another innovation, iCron allows for truly dynamic scheduling that can keep up with current conditions. Other systems have to reschedule for each change, and are thus guaranteed to be out of sync with the real world on a regular basis. Intelligent scheduling agents in iCron are constantly at work can work together to resolve constraints and make intelligent local decisions. This also allows extreme scalability for companies that are growing or large planning problems.;
