Find out more about FELIOS

Companies with complex manufacturing and planning processes need suitable planning tools. Conventional ERP systems plan with unlimited capacities and ignore the important question of which production step should be considered with which resource and part and when it should be realistically planned. To achieve short production cycles with minimal circulating stocks and to ensure on-time delivery, it is important to use intelligent planning tools, such as FELIOS | APS.
