    The medical device industry encompasses a diverse range of business models, including consumable manufacturers, distributors, capital equipment providers, and service-focused organizations, each with distinct operational and regulatory requirements.

  • WBSP871: Scale Growth by Understanding Advanced Planning and Scheduling: Finite vs. Infinite, an Objective Panel Review
    Jun 24 2026

    Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) can be a powerful tool for manufacturers, but its success depends on disciplined implementation and a clear understanding of its role within the broader operational landscape. In this session, we explore what APS truly is, moving beyond vendor marketing to define it in practical operational terms. We then examine how APS enhances production scheduling, capacity planning, resource utilization, and shop-floor execution by providing greater visibility into constraints and priorities. For manufacturers struggling with missed delivery commitments, recurring bottlenecks, frequent schedule changes, or constant operational firefighting, this discussion offers valuable insights into how APS can help create a more predictable, efficient, and responsive manufacturing environment.
