What GANTTPLAN APS is
GANTTPLAN APS is manufacturing planning software that schedules orders against available resources and capacity constraints. It plans machines and work centers, personnel, production resources, tools, and materials together. Scheduling includes automatic order planning, simulation, optimization-based planning, scenario mode, and manual changes checked against restrictions. Material requirements planning covers lot-size optimization, material availability checks, and dynamic order-network planning. The Expert option adds seven weighted criteria: setup costs, production costs, personnel costs, throughput times, capacity utilization, capital commitment, and delivery reliability. GANTTPLAN Confirmation can bring shop-floor feedback into real-time plan adjustments, while Analytics examines historical production data and supports forecasting. The maker describes ERP and MES connections, selected ERP connectivity, and customer-project connectors, and positions the system as an SAP ERP add-on. Deployment can be on premises or in the cloud, including Microsoft Azure, with browser access on any device. Starter includes unlimited users and viewers, an ERP adapter, and deadline-based optimization. Expert adds integrated MRP and energy cost planning. Pricing is on request; no free plan is listed, but a free trial is offered.
