The major intention of this paper is to provide an overview of Advanced Planning Systems (APS) as modern software systems for the support of supply chain management concepts in practice. APS represent comprehensive software packages, which provide capabilities that go far beyond classical MRP II systems. Major characteristics of APS are integral planning of the entire supply chain, application of mathematical models and algorithms, and a hierarchical planning approach, which sub-divides the entire planning problem into a number of smaller sub-problems and assigns them to different levels of a hierarchy. The main body of this paper presents the various modules of APS and illustrates their practical application using the software system SAP® APO® 3.1 as an example.
