Visual Advanced Production Scheduler
app for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Graphical production planning in Business Central

Visual Advanced Production Scheduler (VAPS) is an innovative solution developed by Netronic for managing production planning processes, fully integrated with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central system. It extends the Manufacturing Management functionality which is available in the ERP system.

 

The solution is particularly useful in manufacturing companies that search for an efficient tool to manage and optimize complex production processes. Capabilities of the application include the visualization of the entire production schedule, scenario simulations, flexible resource management and easy identification of bottlenecks.

 

The interactive VAPS interface that utilizes the “drag & drop” features, facilitates planning and allows for reducing downtime, which results in increased productivity.

 

The application has been designed particularly for planners and production managers who must make informed decisions quickly.

    Our vision for the application

    While presenting and implementing VAPS from Netronic, I had an opportunity to work with actual production scenarios. I successfully implemented many scenarios, and the results were satisfying even on the first attempts. Firstly, I would like to emphasize that the application is quick to implement, and you can download a free trial version to test its features. When installed, the solution is almost instantly ready to use with our data! The visualization of availability of item components and alternate resources are capabilities that planners have been waiting for a long time. I would like to recommend all customers to try VAPS and experience how it optimizes production schedules and reduces costs
