Abstract

An APS is typically implemented to improve elements of the supply chain performance. There is a relation between the plan that is created using the APS and the operational performance that is achieved – when the plan is executed. The APS consultant needs to understand what performance criteria must be improved, to make sure the right functionality is supported in the APS. Furthermore, the control loop that is created by:

Setting performance objectives to be achieved
Translation of these objectives into parameters of the APS system
Usage of the APS system
Execution of the tasks prescribed
Measurement of actual performance
