This episode explains why ERP cannot build an optimal production schedule, what finite scheduling and APS add, and where Microsoft data…https://www.m365.fm/community/u/mirko-p/blog/why-erp-production-dates-are-fake-planning-vs-reality/https://www.m365.fm/community/u/mirko-p/blog/why-erp-production-dates-are-fake-planning-vs-reality/Tue, 15 Sep 2026 21:25:55 -0000articleDiscover why traditional ERP production dates create false certainty and learn how finite-capacity APS scheduling bridges the gap in manufacturing.https://www.m365.fm/show/episodes/constraint-based-scheduling/https://www.m365.fm/show/episodes/constraint-based-scheduling/Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 -0000episodeProduction plans that look fine in ERP fall apart when a machine fails, a fixture is busy or material is still in inspection.
