### "Planificador de producción de Siemens" — 4.0/5

> **Almudena** | *2 March 2023* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Planificador de producción muy completo en el que te permite crear múltiple escenarios productivos y escoger el que más te convenga en función de como lo parametrices.A diferencia de otros APS, Opcenter APS se debe personalizar casi por completo durante la fase de implementación, lo que permite suplir todas las necesidades y peculiaridades de la planta productiva donde se va a trabajar.La interfaz es sencilla e intuitiva pero muy completa\!
> 
> **Cons**: Que sea complemente personalizable hace crítica la fase de implementación, ya que hay que definir perfectamente como trabaja la planta productiva para que sea lo más preciso posible. Cualquier olvido o falta de concreción puede hacer que el periodo de implantación sea largo.
> 
> Que esté detrás una empresa tan solvente como Siemens siempre da seguridad sobre la idoneidad de un software como este.Se integra con múltiple ERP's y sistema de gestión de la producción ofreciendo una planificación optimizada en base a los parámetros que se escogen en función de cada escenario.
