Barum Automotive will plan its entire production with the APS solution from Senior Software

News, Senior Software systems

Barum Automotive manufacturer has chosen the advanced planning & scheduling system (APS) from Senior Software, a modern software for improving production performance. The company from Timisoara (Romania) decided to use this solution to optimize medium and long term planning for large volume of orders.

Barum Automotive, a company that is part of the BARTH Group from Germany, acquired the APS solution from Senior Software to streamline the planning of production activities and improve the use of resources in the factory.

With a turnover of over 7 million euros, Barum Automotive is a manufacturer of parts and components made through metal-cutting processes, used in automotive, construction and many other industries. The management team of Barum Automotive decided to invest in a modern APS system because, without automation, production planning could be done only for the current day.

In the absence of a software system, the production planning could only be done for one day. Therefore, we decided to implement the APS solution from Senior Software because we want to be able to easily plan, on a short and medium term, a large volume of orders, on several machines. The presentation of the system’s capabilities and the benefits that this solution can bring convinced us to start the partnership with Senior Software

Sorin Frentoni

Production Manager

Using the APS system from Senior Software, the manufacturer from Timisoara aims to gain important improvements for the factory, such as:

Easy and efficient production planning, based on the availability of resources and staff training

Rapid generation of new production plans in case of various changes (new orders that require priority, equipment in need of urgent repairs, short-staffed situations, etc.)

The use of resources in a more efficient way and the fluidization of production activities

Optimizing working and organizing times

Increasing employee productivity and quality in production

Improving data accuracy

Efficient planning of maintenance processes

Improving relationships with customers and partners
