For Francisco Aragón, scaling a global manufacturing operation meant rethinking how planning and scheduling supported both day-to-day execution and long-term stability. With increasing complexity across products, sites, and customer commitments, the business needed a planning approach that could deliver consistency without sacrificing agility.
By implementing Siemens Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS), the team achieved measurable improvements in performance. Order adherence increased from 65–75% to 85–90%, while the frozen planning period was extended from just a few days to nearly two weeks. This brought greater stability to production schedules, reduced last-minute changes, and improved confidence across operations and customer-facing teams.
The solution also delivered over 12 months of planning visibility, enabling clearer insight into demand, capacity, and constraints well into the future. Planning and scheduling processes became more streamlined, administrative effort was reduced, and the organisation gained the agility needed to respond to market changes — all while maintaining high levels of service as the business continues to grow.
At Kudos Solutions, we help manufacturers achieve similar — and often greater — improvements by applying advanced planning in a way that fits their operation. If you’re looking to improve delivery performance, planning stability, and visibility across your business, we’d be happy to explore what’s possible.
